Chelsea were trailing 2-0 and down to 10 men when Casemiro received a second yellow card.<\/p>\n
Casemiro had picked up an early booking 17 minutes in<\/a> when he caught Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez on the back of the leg with a sliding tackle. Then, in stoppage time in the first half, he dragged Andrey Santos down before being sent for an early shower.<\/p>\n The dismissal made the game more even in the second half, but United held on at the end to secure three points with a memorable 2-1 win at Old Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n Although Casemiro\u2019s red card dominated the headlines, the Brazilian was responsible for scoring United\u2019s second goal after Bruno Fernandes<\/a> broke the deadlock.<\/p>\n As United fans<\/a> left the ground on Saturday, Casemiro\u2019s red card proved to be a big talking point.<\/p>\n Some felt it was a harsh decision and accused referee Peter Bankes of trying to make it a level playing field after Chelsea were rightly reduced to 10 men following Robert Sanchez\u2019s reckless tackle on Bryan Mbeumo<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pundits Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer felt it was a harsh booking<\/a>, but many others felt otherwise.<\/p>\n Former Premier League boss Sam Allardyce was not pleased with Casemiro.<\/p>\n Allardyce watched the game in the company of Sir Alex Ferguson<\/a> and felt Casemiro\u2019s reckless streak was a detriment to Amorim\u2019s team.<\/p>\n Speaking to Ben Foster<\/a> on the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, Allardyce was critical of Casemiro\u2019s conduct against Chelsea.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous,\u201d Allardyce said.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, the man of his experience and his age who can\u2019t control himself. He\u2019s just an old player. He\u2019s not an experienced player, because he\u2019s still doing the same things. He\u2019s still doing the same things all his career that he should have cut out years ago, and particularly now, he\u2019s not as quick as he used to be, and he should be using it.<\/p>\n \u201cHe should be using his experience to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen. But he\u2019s not. He\u2019s just doing the same old things he\u2019s always done, diving in, jumping in, and obviously, because he\u2019s slowing down, he\u2019s getting booked and sent off more.<\/p>\n \u201cAs talented as he is, and he is, on the ball. It\u2019s a detriment to your team.\u201d<\/p>\n When does Casemiro return?<\/p>\n Casemiro will not be available to face Brentford on Saturday due to suspension.<\/p>\n The midfield veteran will serve a one-game suspension after his recent dismissal, meaning he will have to watch the Brentford game from the sidelines or in the comfort of his home.<\/p>\n Casemiro will return the following week to take on Sunderland at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n That allows Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> or Manuel Ugarte<\/a> to start this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Premier League manager Sam Allardyce has made his feelings clear on Casemiro following the experienced midfielder\u2019s red…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[21086,59,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-160754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-casemiro","tag-gb","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Casemiro](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2235952508-1024x683.jpg\")
