Why Man Utd decided not to appeal Casemiro red card despite Erik ten Hag complaints

Manchester United have opted against appealing Casemiro's red card on Sunday as they don't believe they can successfully get it overturned.

The Brazilian was given his marching orders on Sunday in the goalless draw with Southampton and will now miss the next four domestic games. Referee Anthony Taylor originally dished out a yellow card for Casemiro's lunge on Carlos Alcaraz, before VAR advised him to consult the monitor, after which he dismissed the midfielder.

Casemiro has been hugely influential for the Red Devils with his absence often telling. Erik ten Hag's side still need to consolidate their top four spot and could add further silverware with the capture of the FA Cup, but will be without the midfielder for several key matches.
