Manchester United manager critical of Casemiro after red

‘We suffered in the end but we deserved the win’

After Manchester United beat Chelsea 2-1 at Old Trafford Ruben Amorim urged his team to feel they need to win the next game too while criticising Casemiro for a red card that complicated the victory.

United were cruising after Robert Sánchez’s fourth-minute sending-off and goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro on 14 and 37 minutes. But in the fifth minute of first-half added time the Brazilian was shown a second yellow card, for manhandling Andrey Santos.

Amorim said: “We started the game in the right way. Really aggressive. The red card helped us dominate the game but we were already there. We scored two goals and then we tried to complicate our game again. It’s always complicated for us. It should have been different in this game.”
