He will suffer - Amorim reflects on Casemiro's Red Card in Man United’s win over Chelsea

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that midfielder Casemiro will feel the weight of his red card despite scoring in their 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Casemiro doubled United’s lead before being sent off for a second bookable offence, leaving the hosts to finish the game with 10 men.

His dismissal came after Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez was shown a straight red card in just the fourth minute, setting the stage for a fiery contest.

The Brazilian midfielder looked to have capped a strong performance with his goal, but his dismissal shifted momentum and gave Chelsea hope.

Defender Trevoh Chalobah pulled one back with a late header, setting up a nervy finale. United, however, held firm to secure all three points.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the game, Amorim said Casemiro was already disappointed with himself.

He said, "He's [feeling] worse than me. We won so I will forget a little bit and he will suffer because he's a top professional. He understands what he did. He is experienced enough that that play should not be played like that. He cares too much.

"We suffered in the end but we deserved the win. Our crowd, our fans are easy to please. If you give everything they will be there. That is something our players need to understand. To have the crowd with us we just need to run, to fight and tackle.

"With this win we have to forget the good feeling of winning the game and get back to the urgency of feeling we need to win the next game,” Amorim explained.

Despite the win, Casemiro will now serve a suspension, leaving Amorim with a midfield selection headache as United prepare for their next fixtures in the Premier League and Europe.
