Manchester United have decided not to contest Casemiro’s red card against Southampton on Sunday, concluding that an appeal would most likely fail..
According to the Independent, the Brazil international was sent off for a foul on Saints midfielder Carlos Alcaraz in the 0-0 draw and will now serve a four-match ban.
It is Casemiro’s second red card of the season, following his dismissal against Crystal Palace, and he will miss an additional game as a result.
The 31-year-old will miss the FA Cup match against Fulham on Sunday, as well as Premier League games against Newcastle, Brentford, and Everton..
The absence of Casemiro is a major blow for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, as the Brazilian star has been crucial to the club’s success since joining from Real Madrid last summer.
Casemiro is expected to return for United’s match against Nottingham Forest on April 15, and only time will tell how their season will look by then.
