The Brazilian midfielder received the first straight red card of his career

Casemiro experienced something that - quite incredibly - he had not experienced before on Saturday. A straight red card.

The Man United midfielder was dismissed in the Red Devils' win over Crystal Palace.

The Brazilian was angry and grabbed Will Hughes round the neck, with VAR notifying the referee about the incident.

With that deplorable behaviour, Casemiro was sent off for the first time at Manchester United, in his 16th game. He will miss three games presumably.

While at Real Madrid the midfielder often got away with fouls that should have earned him a red card directly or a second yellow.
