Gary Lineker has joked that Casemiro was sent off for "attempted strangulation" in the 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The United midfielder was sent for an early bath with his side 2-0 up at Old Trafford, his dismissal kicking a previously dismal Palace side into life. Players from both sides came together by the touchline, with pushing and shoving forcing referee Andre Marriner to book Antony and Jeffrey Schlupp.
But after being told to review the fracas by VAR, he watched a replay of Casemiro holding Will Hughes by the neck and showed the 30-year-old a straight red card. He will now miss the double-header against Leeds United before a meeting with Leicester City.
