Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that they will not appeal against the red card Casemiro received vs Crystal Palace, meaning the midfielder will be available for selection against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final.
Casemiro was shown a straight red card against Palace last week and picked up a three-game ban that applies across all domestic competitions. It meant that the Brazilian would be absent for both games against Leeds United this week and the following top-flight match against Leicester City - Man United's last domestic game before the League Cup final.
However, should the club have decided to contest the decision, the Premier League can increase the length of the ban by a further game should they deem the appeal to be 'frivolous'. This therefore meant that the 30-year-old would be at risk of being absent for the Wembley clash if proceedings for an appeal were started.
