Full footage of the incident that led to Casemiro getting sent off during United’s win against Crystal Palace appears to shift the dynamics of the scenario.
After a scuffle broke out between the two teams with twenty minutes left to play, Andre Marriner gave Casemiro a direct red card for his involvement in the altercation. The video looked to show Casemiro clutching the neck of Will Hughes, therefore Video Assistant Referee Tony Harrington urged Referee Andre Marriner to inspect the monitor that is located on the pitch in order to determine whether or not a red card should be issued.
As things stand, Casemiro will miss United’s upcoming matches in the Premier League against Leeds and Leicester City since he will be suspended for both matches.
However, fresh video of the incident has surfaced on social media, shedding new insight on the circumstances surrounding the event. The video starts off with Antony being aggressively challenged by Jeffery Schlupp.
It then shows four United players, including Casemiro, surrounding Schlupp, with additional players from both sides engaging in the altercation. Schlupp appears to be the one who was injured. Due to the fact that there was a group of players in the way between the camera and the actual action, the neck grip that Casemiro performed cannot be seen on the footage.
The video recording keeps going even as the heated exchange between the two squads cools down and they separate. Casemiro can be seen hugging Hughes and smiling with the Palace star as this is taking place, suggesting that there was minimal enmity between the two players.
The incident was also covered from a different perspective, which lends even more credence to the notion that Casemiro was unfairly dismissed from the game. The viewpoint is from the stand that is located immediately in front of the melee, with Casemiro’s grasp on Hughes being the focal point of the image.
It appears that Casemiro is grasping Hughes by the shirt rather than by the neck in this perspective of the shot. As a consequence of this, former Premier League champion Alan Shearer criticized the decision to send off the top player for United as being “unfair.”
“There was a scrum in the corner, and you could see everyone getting closer to one another, so I thought the red card was a bit severe,” I said.
“After that, the referee will appear on the screen,” the announcer said. Watch the referee as he goes to the screen and pay attention to the angle that he is shown. In addition to showing a still image, he may also show it in slow motion in that position and angle.
“However, if you look at it from a different perspective, it doesn’t appear to be quite as horrible. This perspective on the situation. He is able to see it there up close, he has a firm grasp on him, he has a firm grasp on him indeed. rather than by the collar than by the contour of the neck.”
The revelation of the fresh film of the event comes at the same time as United manager Erik ten Hag has stated that the club is considering appealing the decision. They have a limited window of opportunity to do so before their game on Wednesday against Leeds.
Ten Hag stated, “First and foremost, we are required to deal with it, and we shall do so; yet, it is not proper.” “It was something that shouldn’t have taken place. This was something that could have been avoided, and thus there must be repercussions for this incident, and those consequences are inconsistent, which is not proper, and it is not fair against us.
“We ought to give some thought to [becoming appealing. But to be fair, we have seen that when you freeze (the frame), Casemiro is going above the permitted distance. However, a significant number of players were going beyond the boundary there.
“We also receive some warnings about our team behaving like this, and I think you have to do it, you have to protect each other. However, we want to maintain our standards and values at Man United, and we want to maintain them at a high level.”
