Supporters raged online after Casemiro was given a straight red card for his rash tackle on Carlos Alcaraz.

During Manchester United’s game against Southampton, the dogged midfield lunged in for the ball but his foot ended up going over the top and crunching into the Soton attacker.

The card means that Casemiro will now be handed a four-game ban, owing to the fact he has already received a straight red this term.

Man Utd fans have been pulling their hair out online over the prospect of missing their key midfielder over the course of the next several matches.

Others have slammed the former Real Madrid man for his reckless dive into a challenge.

That Casemiro tackle was so inexperienced.

In case that wasn't all enough of a laugh, Casemiro was holding back tears after his red card at Old Trafford

Ref overturns decision

Casemiro was indeed given his marching orders after referee Anthony Taylor dismissed him from the field of play. The official had initially brandished a yellow card but was advised to check the pitchside monitor to review his call.

It proved fatal. Upon a second look at the offence, Taylor overturned his decision to leave Man Utd to ten-men.

Casemiro, visibly frustrated, was given a good ovation from supporters as he left the pitch.

Man Utd went into the game against Southampton hoping to gain three points and leave behind the torrid result against Liverpool, in which they were beaten by their arch-rivals 7-0.
