‘Paul Scholes was right’ – All Man United fans all say the same thing as Casemiro was sent off vs Southampton
This season, the Manchester United midfielder has been sent off twice in the Premier League.
Manchester United fans were not thrilled with Casemiro after he received his second red card of the season.
During the first half of Sunday’s Premier League game, the 30-year-old was sent off for a tackle on Southampton’s Carlos Alcaraz. United was tied at 0-0 when the Brazilian was ruled to have fouled the Saints player.
Referee Anthony Taylor first booked the midfielder before the video assistant referee checked for a red card and upgraded the judgment. Casemiro appeared to win the ball, but his high follow-through was ruled illegal. Casemiro will now miss four games having been issued a straight red card earlier this season against Crystal Palace.
It means he’ll miss the FA Cup tie against Fulham as well as Premier League games against Newcastle United, Brentford, and Everton before the international break. Because domestic suspensions do not transfer over into European competition, he will be eligible to play against Real Betis in the second leg of the Europa League’s last 16 encounters on Thursday.
After being down to ten men on Sunday, United manager Erik ten Hag sacrificed center-forward Wout Weghorst, with Scott McTominay coming on just before halftime to strengthen the midfield.
