In his career, until his arrival at United, Casemiro had never been sent off directly in all the clubs he played for (São Paulo, Porto and Real Madrid). However, in his 29 games played for the Red Devils – compared to the other 463 in the other teams -, the Brazilian has already received a direct red card on two occasions. Including this Sunday’s draw, against last-placed Southampton, indoors, after a tough tackle on Carlos Alcaraz.
The other direct expulsion was in the duel against Crystal Palace, on February 4th. For Real Madrid, the Brazilian national team player accumulated only two expulsions in nine years at the club, against Barcelona and Real Valladolid.
Undoubtedly, the Brazilian is a key player in Erik ten Hag’s team and his arrival has given new life to the Manchester club, which had gone 6 years without winning a title. However, the red cards received could harm his team over the next few seasons.
