AFTER a 2-1 win against Luton on Sunday, Manchester United's Manager, Erik Ten Hag, has accused the Premier League referee of not being fair when dealing with defensive midfielder, Casemiro.
The former Real Madrid player picked up an eighth booking in his last 10 matches for a foul on Luton captain, Carlton Morris in the scrappy 2-1 win against Luton at Kenilworth Road.
Many believed that Casemiro should have been sent off toward the end of the game for a late challenge on Ross Barkley, which could have resulted in another yellow, automatically leading to a red card.
Ten Hag, coming to defend Casemiro, claimed that Casemiro is often unfairly penalised by officials.
"Even when he is not touching opponents, he gets booked. Often the first moment of the game," Ten Hag told a press conference.
"I think it’s crazy, and it was so unfair that first booking. That second could have been, so that’s why I took him off. He touches an opponent, and he gets booked," he added.
Casemiro got sent off twice for United last season in the Premier League against Crystal Palace and Southampton and was banned for a total of eight matches.
