Presenter and Manchester United fan Mark Goldbridge wasn't impressed with referee Anthony Taylor after he sent off Casemiro during Sunday's Premier League draw with Southampton.  

The Lowdown: Casemiro sent off

Casemiro was shown a second red card of the league season following a first-half tackle on Saints midfielder Carlos Alcaraz at Old Trafford.

The Brazilian was initially shown a yellow card by Taylor, however, he was quickly advised to check the pitchside monitor and changed his decision by upgrading the card to red.

As a result, the 31-year-old looks set to be suspended for the next four domestic fixtures, starting against Fulham in the FA Cup.

The Latest: Goldbridge reacts

Goldbridge took to Twitter following the red card to share his thoughts on Taylor, and it's safe to say he wasn't best pleased with the official.

He labelled the referee as 'dreadful' and in another post said that he has 'no idea about football', stating that Casemiro gets the ball first before going over the top.

The Verdict: Controversial

The decision could be one that splits opinion, with The Mirror describing it as a 'horror' tackle. However, being without the player will be a big blow for United and Erik ten Hag, especially with the campaign entering a crucial stage with United looking to consolidate a place in the top four.

Casemiro will be available in Europe, but a second red card in his last three Premier League games will come as a concern, especially as he never received a straight red card for former employers Real Madrid.

Ten Hag reacted by bringing on Scott McTominay for Wout Weghorst against Southampton, so the Scot could be in line to fill the void left by Casemiro, with Fred another option who didn't start on Sunday.
