Man Utd games Casemiro will miss after red card for grabbing opponent by the throat

Manchester United held on for three points against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, but face the prospect of three games without Casemiro after the midfielder was sent off.

A Bruno Fernandes penalty and a second-half goal from Marcus Rashford put Erik ten Hag's team in control, only for Casemiro to see red for grabbing Palace midfielder Will Hughes by the throat. The former Real Madrid star was dismissed after a VAR check, setting up a nervy final 20 minutes.

Jeff Schlupp pulled out back, but Palace couldn't find another late equaliser after Michael Olise's dramatic effort in the reverse fixture. Ten Hag will be satisfied with the result, but the loss of his midfielder - who recently sat out the defeat at Arsenal through a yellow card suspension - will be a concern.
