Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag confirmed on Saturday that they would consider appealing Casemiro's red card following his dismissal during Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian, who has been a revelation since joining the club from Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid last summer, was sent off with 70 minutes on the clock for a coming together with Palace midfielder Will Hughes. Casemiro reacted angrily to Jeffrey Schlupp's hefty challenge on Antony and appeared to grab Hughes in the midst of a melee between both sets of players.
Referee Andre Marriner, following a VAR check and a look at the pitchside monitor, deemed Casemiro's actions to be violent conduct, with the video angle he had seen appearing to show the Brazil international grab Hughes by the neck. However, an alternative angle showed that the United midfielder had got hold of Hughes' shirt collar rather than his neck.
