Manchester United have decided not to appeal against Casemiro's suspension after the midfielder was shown a straight red card during Sunday's 0-0 draw with Southampton on Sunday.
Casemiro was initially given a yellow card for his challenge on Carlos Alcaraz, before referee Anthony Taylor upgraded it to a red card after reviewing the incident on the pitch side monitor.
Man United will not make an appeal to the Premier League and the Brazilian international will serve a four-match ban. This means that Casemiro will be ineligible for Manchester United's trip to St James' Park to face Newcastle United after the international break on April 2.

He will also miss the Red Devils' FA Cup quarter-final clash at home to Fulham on Sunday, as well as April's Premier League games against Brentford and Everton at Old Trafford.
The reason for Man United not lodging an appeal is that they did not believe there was a strong enough case to be made for the decision to be overturned.
Casemiro has already missed four games through suspension prior to his dismissal on the weekend. He has been a key player during his debut campaign at Old Trafford, and scored the opening header as they won 2-0 over Newcastle in last month's Carabao Cup final.
