Former Newcastle United and England striker Alan Shearer believes Casemiro was harshly sent off during Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
The Brazilian was dismissed with 70 minutes on the clock after a melee broke out on side of the field furthest from the Old Trafford dugout.. United's players took exception to Jeffrey Schlupp's heavy challenge on Antony, which barged him off the pitch, and it resulted in Casemiro clashing with Will Hughes.
The incident was looked at by VAR, resulting in on-field referee Andre Marriner going over to the pitchside monitor and making the decision to show Casemiro his first red card in English football. The angle Marriner was shown suggested that the Brazilian had his hands wrapped around Hughes' neck.
