The Selecaos will start their journey in Qatar on November 25 against Serbia. They face Switzerland and Cameroon next on November 28 and December 3, respectively, in Group G.
Brazil are the record winner of the competition with five trophies to their name. Their last win came in 2002 in the Japan & Korea edition of the tournament. With yet another Asian country being the host this time, whether the Selecaos can put an end to their duck of two decades remains to be seen.
Manchester United legend said the Red Devils have the worst front three
Manchester United were nowhere close to their best as they were defeated by Aston Villa in their latest Premier League clash on November 6.
Club legend Gary Neville said that the Red Devils have the worst top three among the top six of the Premier League clubs. Speaking on Sky Sports, the former full-back said:
"Overall, I'm not wholly convinced by this idea that Manchester United are back. They're not, They're nowhere near Manchester City. They're more watchable and have got a bit more fight. Eriksen has brought quality in midfield and Martinez at the back has brought tenacity - but he can't keep a steady pair. That's a problem."
Defeat at Villa Park.

Neville added:
"United's front three are the weakest out of the top six. You think of Kulusevski-Kane-Son - United would take those three. Arsenal have Saka-Jesus-Martinelli. Liverpool have Nunez, Diaz, Jota, Salah and Firmino - you'd definitely choose three of them over what United have got. You'd take Chelsea's even."
Manchester United are currently fifth in the Premier League standings with 23 points in 13 games.
