No one could quite pinpoint why the defensive midfielder avoided red cards, but Casemiro was so good at doing the dirty parts of football without getting noticed that Spanish newspapers joked he wore an invisibility cloak.
“Casemiro… in over 500 games he had never a red card and now he has two. He plays tough but he plays fair. Same as against Crystal Palace. It is debatable.” His responsibilities as Ten Hag’s enforcer mean he will always run the risk of yellow card offences when attempting to stop opposition attacks. His influence in possession means he is often targeted in pressing efforts by the opposition, too. The midfielder’s worst tackles frequently come after he has been pressed and he attempts a tackle in an attempt to win possession back.
Much of the Southampton game’s promise evaporated with Casemiro’s dismissal. A partially rotated side saw Ten Hag use Jadon Sancho as the No 10 of his 4-2-3-1, while Bruno Fernandes was deployed in a deeper role alongside Casemiro. The opening half-hour at Old Trafford was a scrappy affair, with United’s attacking players lacking the quickness of pass to get around a stubbornly disciplined Southampton side.
