Manchester United's supporters lauded Brazilian duo Antony and Casemiro after they combined to give the Reds the lead in their FA Cup fourth round tie with Reading at Old Trafford on Saturday night.
After a goalless and fairly uninspiring first half, United got their noses in front just nine minutes into the second half courtesy of Casemiro's third goal of the season. The former Real Madrid man latched onto an excellent pass from Antony and chipped the ball over the onrushing Joe Lumley in the Reading goal.
It was an exquisite finish from the midfielder, whose run just to connect with Antony's pass in the first place was as equally impressive. It was a taste of Brazilian magic and it marked Casemiro's first goal in front of the Stretford End since joining the club last summer.

United had dominated the game from the first whistle but had struggled to test Lumley. Marcus Rashford thought he had given United a first-half lead, heading in from close range, but it was ruled out for offside against Wout Weghorst in the build-up.
Nevertheless, that moment did not come back to haunt United, with Antony's impressive pass unlocking a stubborn Reading defence and allowing Casemiro to break the deadlock. Below, MEN Sport has taken a look at what the fans had to say in response to what was an impressive goal:
At the time of writing, United have since increased their lead to 3-1, thanks to another goal from Casemiro and one from substitute Fred.
