Manchester United claimed a narrow win over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford but will now have to do without Casemiro for the next three games after the midfielder was sent off. Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty, and Marcus Rashford added a second-half goal to put United ahead. However, Casemiro received a red card for grabbing Palace midfielder Will Hughes by the neck, leading to a tense final 20 minutes of the match.
Although Palace’s Jeff Schlupp scored a goal back, they were unable to find an equalizer and United still won. While coach Erik ten Hag will be pleased with the result, the absence of Casemiro, who also missed the previous match due to a yellow card suspension, will be a concern for the entire team.
In the match against Nottingham Forest. Manchester United encountered a similar situation. Fans also expressed disappointment that there was no penalty for a similar incident involving Nottingham Forest’s Felipe grabbing Bruno Fernandes by the neck during a separate match.
Despite the defeat, United still managed to win and progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. They have a challenging match against Liverpool in the next round, setting up an intriguing clаsh at Old Trafford.
