Manchester United fans praised Casemiro after the Reds midfielder got on the scoresheet for Brazil in his first match after being named the national team's new captain.
Casemiro was handed the armband by interim boss Ramon Menezes, with Tite having stepped down as manager after the World Cup. The South American side took on Morocco on Saturday night in their first match since the tournament, but fell to a 2-1 defeat.
The North African side, who recorded a first-ever win over Brazil, took the lead through Sofiane Boufal in the 29th minute, but United ace Casemiro levelled proceedings in the 67th minute.

The 31-year-old received the ball on the edge of the penalty area and unleashed a strike at goal. Although his effort was on target - and struck with some force - Morocco goalkeeper Bono will be disappointed to have let the ball slip under his body and into the back of the net.
Despite being somewhat fortunate to get on the scoresheet, Casemiro was still praised by Reds supporters after scoring on a memorable occasion.
Abdelhamid Sabiri scored a winning goal for Morocco in the 79th minute of the clash, with Brazil once again without Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar, who was ruled out through injury.
Casemiro will come up against Morocco stopper Bono once again when United take on Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-finals next month. The goalkeeper has played for the La Liga side since 2020.
