In the first half of the match against Luton Town, Casemiro, the Manchester United player, had a close call with a red card. Football expert Jamie Redknapp even went as far as labeling him a "serial offender" before he was substituted at half-time.
The Brazilian midfielder received a yellow card after 34 minutes and continued to make questionable challenges throughout the remainder of the first half. One of his tackles on Ross Barkley was particularly reckless and could have resulted in a second yellow card, much to the frustration of Luton's players and fans.
To prevent the team from playing with 10 players, United's manager, Erik ten Hag, made the decision to take Casemiro off for the second half. "This is a no-brainer," said Redknapp, referring to the substitution. "He's already been booked, he's a serial offender, he kept fouling time and time again."
Naturally, United fans were relieved that their team didn't suffer from a red card, but Redknapp couldn't help but express his disappointment in Casemiro's actions. "Once you've been booked, you can't continue to commit fouls like that," he stated. "He was very lucky and it could have ended badly for him."
Even the commentators, Gary Neville and Daniel Sturridge, were shocked by Casemiro's behavior. "He's not going for his card despite Luton players urging him to do so," observed Neville. "He is lucky!"
It seems like Casemiro's luck finally ran out when he received a booking for a foul on Luton's Amari'i Bell. With this in mind, it's clear that he needs to be more careful and avoid making such controversial challenges in the future. Otherwise, it could result in a red card and leave his team at a disadvantage.
