Ten Hag questions the ‘fairness’ of recent criticism towards a Man Utd player available for sale.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag raised concerns about the officiating towards midfielder Casemiro after he received his fourth yellow card in four league games.

Red Card Fears:

Ten Hag revealed he feared an imminent red card for Casemiro during their victory over Luton Town, even if the midfielder wasn’t actively fouling opponents.

This prompted the Dutch manager to replace Casemiro at halftime to avoid an unnecessary sending-off.

Manager’s Frustration:

Ten Hag expressed frustration with the frequency of yellow cards against Casemiro, describing the initial booking as “unfair” and highlighting instances where Casemiro received cards with minimal contact.

Transfer Rumors:

Despite these concerns, Casemiro recently reaffirmed his happiness at Manchester United, praising the club, players, and fans for their warm welcome.

The midfielder signed a long-term contract in August 2022 and expressed his commitment to helping the team achieve success.
