Marcelo "worked things out" with Mano Menezes

Real Madrid fullback Marcelo has said that his issues with Brazil coach Mano Menezes are now in the past.

"There were several things I spoke to Mano about," he told Globoesporte. "We exchanged ideas and worked things out.

"Thank God we have no problem. He respected me and I respected him. He has been a great coach and a man of his word. We said some things, but it has now passed."

Marcelo scored one of four goals for Brazil against the United States earlier this week.
