New footage sheds light on melee which saw Casemiro sent off for Man United against Crystal Palace

A new camera angle has shed more light on the melee between Manchester United players and Crystal Palace on Saturday.

However, despite Erik ten Hag’s side apparently taking all three points thanks to a two-goal lead as the game progressed midway through the second half, chaos would ensue following a sideline encounter.

Palace’s Jeffrey Schlupp was booked for a rash challenge to Antony, leading to a clash between the two sides.

New footage taken by a supporter in the Old Trafford stands and shared on Twitter shows Casemiro approaching the Ghana international and shoving him, leading to players from both teams getting involved in the fight.

The former Real Madrid star can then be seen grabbing Will Hughes by the neck as both players’ teammates collide around him.

After consulting the VAR referee, Andre Marriner sent off Casemiro, and the Brazilian now faces a three-match ban.

After the game, Ten Hag questioned why only the Brazilian had been reprimanded for his role in the incident.

“I see two teams fighting each other,” said the United manager. I see two teams where multiple players crossed the line, and then one player gets picked and sent off. For me, that’s not right.

“When Casemiro is sent off for this incident, they should have sent off many more players. You have to be constant.

When asked if Ayew should have been one of them, Ten Hag replied: ‘Definitely. He did even worse than Casemiro. Casemiro, you freeze the shot and it crosses the line. Definitely. You have to be consistent with the VAR.
