Manchester United will not appeal Casemiro's red card which he received against Southampton for a challenge on Carlos Alcaraz, the club confirmed in a statement on Monday. The Brazilian was sent off for the second time in the league this season, prompting an automatic 4 match suspension. Following are the games Casemiro will not be available for

Fulham (H) - 19 March (FA Cup)

Newcastle United (A) - 2 April

Brentford (H) - 5 April

Everton (H) - 8 April

Casemiro will be available for United's second leg against Real Betis on Thursday. He is one yellow card away from suspension in that competition.

Coach Erik ten Hag expressed his frustration with refereeing in the league following the midfielder's second sending off in as many months.

"It is inconsistent," he said, after Sunday's match with the Saints. "The referees are coming at the start of the season with a policy: we are the Premier League, we want intensity and Casemiro, across European games, over 500, he never had a red card but now, twice. He plays tough but he’s fair.

"Same as against Crystal Palace, so it’s very debatable. When you freeze it [Sunday’s challenge], it looks bad. Everyone who knows something about football, knows what is bad, what is fair and Casemiro is a fair player. Tough, but fair, and it shows over 500 games in big leagues and he was never sent off. He’s disappointed."
