Some Manchester United supporters were left perplexed after a new angle of the incident that resulted in Casemiro being sent off during Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford emerged.
The Brazil international was sent off for violent conduct with 70 minutes on the clock following an altercation with Palace midfielder Will Hughes. Following a rough challenge from Jeffrey Schlupp on Antony, a melee broke out on the side of the pitch furthest from the dugout, resulting in Casemiro appearing to grab Hughes by the neck.
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 did suggest that the Brazilian had his hands wrapped around Hughes' neck.
