Casemiro is SENT OFF after his horror tackle on Southampton’s Carlos Alcaraz - which will see Man United star banned for FOUR GAMES after previous dismissal… and now has as many reds as he did in nine seasons in LaLiga

Casemiro was sent off for a horror challenge on midfielder Carlos Alcaraz during Manchester United's match against Southampton.

The Brazilian appeared to lunge for a lose ball with his studs up, catching the opposition man on the front of his shin.

Referee Anthony Taylor reached to his pocket and awarded him a yellow card, but was advised to review the tackle on the pitchside monitor ultimately escalating his decision up to a red card reducing United to ten men.

It is the second time this season that the 31-year-old has been sent off for Man United after he was also sent down the tunnel against Crystal Palace earlier this season.
