Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford set United on their way to a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace before Casimiro was sent off
Manchester United’s first Premier League victory in three matches came at the cost of Casemiro’s 71st-minute red card for wrapping his hands around Will Hughes’s neck. On Friday Erik ten Hag admitted that losing his midfield general would be a seismic blow so a three-game suspension will be particularly challenging for United.
“But you have to control your emotions. It’s really difficult in such a moment and I see two teams fighting, two teams of players crossing the line and one player gets picked out and sent off, and that’s not right [though] he crossed the line.” Soon after Palace pulled the contest back to 2-1: Cheick Doucouré’s mishit shot came to Schlupp who scored and celebrated fiercely, urging Palace on for an equaliser that never came despite a frantic finish.Photograph: Martin Rickett/PA
