"Both challenges were unnecessary, and the Brazilian could have easily avoided the red card. He was having an impressive game, and he managed to score as well. Rooney said on the BBC: The first one was stupid enough and then the second one's stupid again, especially for such an experienced player. As a manager, you probably feel he's got enough experience to stay on the pitch after that first booking."
"Casemiro has been sent off after receiving his second yellow card late in the first half. The player picked up his first booking of the game in the 17th minute of the game after a silly challenge, and he followed it up with another unnecessary foul, right at the end of the first half. Casemiro has been sent off Manchester United had an advantage against Chelsea after the Blues lost Robert Sanchez to a red card five minutes into the match."
Manchester United lead Chelsea 2-0 despite being reduced to ten men after Casemiro received a second yellow in the first half. Casemiro’s first booking came in the 17th minute for a reckless challenge; he then committed another unnecessary foul just before halftime and was dismissed. Chelsea lost goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to a red card five minutes into the match, giving Manchester United an early numerical advantage that Casemiro’s sending-off erased. Casemiro scored earlier, becoming the first Manchester United player to score and be sent off in a first-half Premier League match. Wayne Rooney called both bookings 'stupid' and said an experienced player should have avoided a second challenge. Protecting the two-goal lead will be vital to lift club spirits.
