Manchester United have decided not to appeal against the red card shown to Brazil midfielder Casemiro in\u00a0Sunday\u2019s 0-0 draw with Southampton.<\/p>\n

Referee Anthony Taylor initially booked Casemiro for a tackle on Carlos Alcaraz, but then sent him off after going to the television monitor on the advice of the video assistant referee.<\/p>\n

United believed\u00a0there was little chance of the decision being overturned.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Casemiro will now serve an immediate four-match domestic suspension.<\/p>\n

The additional game comes because it was his second dismissal of the season, following a red card against Crystal Palace in February.<\/p>\n

He will miss the FA Cup quarter-final against Fulham and Premier League games against Newcastle United, Brentford and Everton.<\/p>\n

\u201cCasemiro is across European leagues, in over 500 games he had never a red card and now he has twice,\u201d United manager Erik ten Hag said after the Southampton game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe plays tough but he plays fair, also in this he is playing fair. Same as against Palace, so it is very debatable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you freeze it looks bad, but everyone who knows something about football, who is acting on top football, they know what is bad and what isn\u2019t bad, what is fair.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tell you, Casemiro is a really fair player. Tough but fair and it shows over 500 games in big leagues, never sent off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Defender Raphael Varane added: \u201cHe\u2019s a player who\u2019s very important for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brings balance to the team and to the squad, but we have a great squad and we have to find another balance without him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we have good players in every position on the pitch and we\u2019re ready for the next games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he was very disappointed because nobody wants to get out of the pitch before the end but as I say it\u2019s part of football.\u201d<\/p>\n
