Manchester United's Erik ten Hag questions inconsistent VAR after Casemiro red

Erik ten Hag slammed the use of VAR in the Premier League as "inconsistent" after Casemiro was sent off for a second time in his Manchester United career.

The midfielder was shown a red card for a high challenge on Carlos Alcaraz during the 0-0 draw with Southampton on Sunday after referee Anthony Taylor was advised to consult the pitchside monitor by VAR Andre Marriner.
