'Paul Scholes was right' - Manchester United fans react as Casemiro sent off vs Southampton

Manchester United fans were less than impressed with Casemiro after the midfielder collected a second red card of the season.

The 30-year-old was sent off for a tackle on Southampton's Carlos Alcaraz during the first half of Sunday's Premier League game. United were being held to a 0-0 draw at the time when the Brazilian was adjudged to have fouled the Saints man.

Referee Anthony Taylor initially booked the midfielder before a check for a red card by the video assistant referee saw the decision upgraded. Casemiro appeared to win the ball but his high follow-through was deemed serious foul play. Casemiro will now miss four matches after previously being shown a straight red card against Crystal Palace earlier this season.
