Manchester United star Antony is left CRYING as he reacts to the Brazil World Cup squad

A number of Premier League stars, including Manchester United’s Antony, have shared their emotional reactions to discovering they’ve been included in Brazil’s World Cup squad.

Brazil national team manager Tite announced his 26-man squad that he would bring to Qatar later this month and included 12 top England players.

As the World Cup was a momentous event in every player’s career, a number of stars took to social media to share the moment they found out they were going to Qatar.

Manchester United winger Antony shared the heartwarming moment when he – and his family – found out he had been included in the squad.

The former Ajax star shared a video on social media where he sat with his family – all dressed in Manchester United tops although Antony is wearing a Brazilian shirt – awaiting the announcement.

When his name is read, his family bursts into celebration and he embraces. The United No. 21 has a strong embrace and becomes emotional as he realizes that he will be performing in his first World Cup.

The winger only made his national debut in the World Cup qualifiers in October last year, so it will be his first major game where he will represent his country.

Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes had a similar reaction to the discovery that he had been picked for the squad, which was also shared on social media.

Tottenham – and former Everton – attacker Richarlison was the third Premier League star to share their reaction on social media.

The Spurs attacker sits in a room with his family and his head is on his knees – unable to face the screen given the mounting pressure.

As soon as his name is announced, the striker jumps up and celebrates with his family who are all screaming and cheering for joy.

Keep an eye out for the baby in the background – being flung out in the wake of the news by one of Richarlison’s relatives.

There were a number of notable omissions from the squad, including a number of Premier League stars.

Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino missed out due to Brazil’s depth in attacking quality, while Aston Villa’s Philippe Coutinho was banned from the World Cup after suffering a thigh injury in training. Arsenal player Gabriel Magalhaes was also unlucky to miss given his impressive club form.

Flamengo forward Gabriel Barbosa – better known as Gabigol – was left out of the squad, along with Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha and Newcastle midfielder Joelinton.
