United could appeal Casemiro red card
Ten Hag has admitted Casemiro ‘crossed the line’ by choking Will Hughes in United’s 2-1 victory over Palace on Saturday.
But the Dutchman has also confirmed the Red Devils may appeal the Brazil international’s dismissal, saying: "First of all, we have to deal with it and we will do, but it is not right.
"It shouldn't have happened. And last week, VAR doesn't do anything about the tackle (on Christian Eriksen by Andy Carroll), but this was avoidable and because in this incident there have to be consequences and they are inconsistent and that is not right, that is not fair against us.
"We have to think about [appealing]. But be fair, we have seen when you're freezing (the frame), Casemiro is crossing the line. But many more players were crossing the line there.
"We get also some warnings about our team reacting like this and I think you have to do it, you have to protect each other but we want to keep our standards and values at Man United, keep them high.”

Casemiro ‘should be arrested’
Outspoken pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor, however, thinks Casemiro should be arrested for the incident against Palace.
Yep.
He told TalkSport: “Casemiro thought he was Brock Lesnar back in the UFC.
“The way he was strangling Will Hughes, he should be arrested for that. Kids are watching that later on, on Match of the Day. Seeing Casemiro strangling an opponent.”
Agbonlahor has since faced mockery for his comments, with many quick to defend Casemiro for his actions.
