During Manchester United's match against Crystal Palace, Casemiro grabs Will Hughes by the THROAT with both hands and is shown a red card after a VAR review... However, his three-match ban will not prevent him from competing in the Carabao Cup final.

During Manchester United's home game against Crystal Palace, Casemiro was sent off.

He will miss three games, including back-to-back games against Leeds.

Casemiro was sent off for putting his hands around Will Hughes' throat.

Casemiro will miss Manchester United's next three games after receiving a red card against Crystal Palace for putting his hands around an opponent's throat.

After a VAR check by referee Andre Marriner, who viewed the incident on the monitor before sending Casemiro off, the defensive midfielder was dismissed for his actions against Eagles player Will Hughes during a brawl on the pitch in the 70th minute of the match.

Manchester United won 2-1 against South London after the game became more difficult after the Brazilian was sent off.

Casemiro will return in time for the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United at the end of the month, despite his suspension.

He will miss United's next three games, including back-to-back games against Leeds, as well as a home game against Leicester City - sandwiched between their Europa League clashes with Barcelona.

Casemiro of Manchester United was sent off for grabbing Will Hughes by the neck.

During the incident, which was witnessed by VAR, the Brazilian lost his cool and grabbed Hughes.

Referee Andre Marriner was summoned to the monitor to determine whether a red card should be issued.

He couldn't hide his disappointment and frustration after Marriner dismissed him.

The incident began when Palace's Jeffrey Schlupp knocked Casemiro's international teammate Antony off the pitch, prompting the Brazilian to push the Ghanaian off the field.

Following a 20-person melee, VAR official Tony Harrington informed the man in the middle that Casemiro's incident required further investigation using the pitchside monitor.

Marriner went to the monitor and agreed with Harrington before returning to the field to show the midfielder the red card.

According to Opta, it was the first time Casemiro had received a straight red card while playing for his former club Real Madrid or in 30 matches for the Red Devils in all competitions.

After nine years in Madrid, the 30-year-old joined Erik ten Hag's Manchester United in the summer.

He has been an important part of the Red Devils side that has made them strong favourites to reclaim their place in the crucial Champions League.

Man United were leading 2-0 at the time of the red card incident, thanks to early penalties from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford just after the hour mark.

Following Casemiro's dismissal, Crystal Palace equalised through Ghanaian Jeffrey Schlupp, but were unable to find an equaliser, as the game ended 2-1 to the hosts. Ten Hag's side, on the other hand, had a rocky finish.

The Brazilian will miss three Premier League games but not the Carabao Cup final

Manchester United's focus now shifts to their upcoming Premier League games against Leeds United, which they will have to face without the experience of Casemiro in the centre of the park.

For the time being, Manchester United has moved up to third place in the Premier League table, ahead of Newcastle, who play in Saturday's late kick-off.
