Manchester United fans have reacted on social media after Casemiro was shown a yellow card during Manchester United’s clash with Aston Villa.
Erik ten Hag‘s side took an early lead at Villa Park, with Rasmus Hojlund continuing his Premier League hot streak to fire them ahead after just 17 minutes.
The hosts fought back as they hunted an equaliser throughout the remainder of the opening 45 minutes, but United repeatedly denied them an equaliser with Andre Onana making a pair of solid saves.
As Villa continued pressing forward, Matty Cash was bombing down the right flank before Casemiro intervened, bringing the Polish full-back down and being booked by referee Robert Jones.
Clearly dumbfounded by Jones’ decision to caution him, the former Real Madrid midfielder cut an exasperated figure as he exaggeratedly gestured towards the officials.
