Gary Neville spotted that Casemiro was furious with one Manchester United teammate after just avoiding a red card during the first-half of their clash with Luton Town on Sunday.

Casemiro was certainly fortunate to not be sent off towards the end of the first-half at Kenilworth Road. The 31-year-old was already on a yellow card when he appeared to take Ross Barkley out in the middle of the park.

The Brazilian had actually received the ball from Alejandro Garnacho. However, Casemiro was unable to get the ball under control. And when Barkley stole possession, the midfielder dived in and brought the Luton star down.

Understandably, Luton’s players and fans were furious that the referee did not show the Real Madrid man a second yellow card after awarding a free-kick.

It seems that Casemiro blamed one of his teammates following the incident. Speaking on Sky Sports (broadcast on 18/2; 17:10), Gary Neville suggested that he lost his cool with the man who played him the ball.

“It’s symptomatic of Manchester United’s lack of control of the ball. Bounces up off his knee and then he just lunges forward and he’s a lucky boy. He’s lucky,” he said.

“He’s ruffled, they’re all ruffled. He’s supposed to be the experienced one and he’s shouting. Who’s he shouting at? Garnacho? He’s absolutely ripping Garnacho apart, which to be fair, it wasn’t Garnacho’s fault. The ball into him was fine.”

Erik ten Hag made the right call at half-time

It was absolutely no surprise to see Casemiro not come out for the second-half. Erik ten Hag decided to replace him with Scott McTominay. Harry Maguire, who was also on a yellow card, was taken off too.

Ten Hag made absolutely the right call. Casemiro could have had absolutely no complaints had he been given a second yellow card. And you could understand if Luton fans felt that their player would have immediately been dismissed had the roles been reversed.

Given the way Luton took the game to United, there was no question that Casemiro could not carry on on that tightrope.
