Gary Neville explains why Manchester United should not appeal Casemiro's red card

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville believes the club would be taking "too big a risk" if they attempt to have Casemiro's red card from Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace overturned.

The Brazilian, who has been outstanding since joining the Reds from Real Madrid last summer, was dismissed with 70 minutes on the clock after a coming together with Palace midfielder Will Hughes. The 30-year-old appeared to grab the former Derby County ace by the neck in the middle of a melee that broke out following Jeffrey Schlupp's rough challenge on Antony.

VAR took a close look at the incident and ordered on-field referee Andre Marriner to go over to the pitchside monitor and review it. The angle Marriner was shown offered strong evidence that Casemiro had got his hands wrapped around Hughes' neck.
