Erik ten Hag criticises Premier League refereeing after Southampton draw

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has criticised the standard of Premier League refereeing following Sunday's goalless draw with Southampton at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils had Casemiro sent off in the first half of the affair, with the Brazil international given his marching orders by referee Anthony Taylor, who was sent to the monitor to review a tackle on Carlos Alcaraz.

The experienced midfielder has now been sent off twice for Man United this season, including against Crystal Palace, when he was given a red card for putting his hands on the neck of Will Hughes.

The hosts also had a shout for a penalty on Sunday, with Armel Bella-Kotchap appearing to handle a cross from Marcus Rashford, and Ten Hag showed his frustration following the 0-0 draw with the Saints.

"What I think is the inconsistency, players don't know anymore what is the policy, and I think it's all across," the Manchester Evening News quotes Ten Hag as saying after the match.

"We see it with Premier League yesterday: Leicester-Chelsea, the VAR is not coming on the line. Today, it's coming on the line. And then it's two penalty situations, but they don't come on the line. Especially the first one, it was clear and obvious handball so what is the policy?

"There's another one: inconsistent. The referee is coming in the start of the season with a policy, we are Premier League, it's coming strong here, we want intensity.

"Casemiro is across European games, over 500 games he never had a red card. Now he has two. Think about that. He plays tough but he plays fair. And also in this, he's playing fair, same as against Crystal Palace, so it's very debatable.

"Everyone who knows something about football, you know, and of course, when you freeze it, it looks bad. But everyone who knows something about football, who was acting on top football, they know what is bad, what isn't bad and what is fair. And I tell you: Casemiro is a really fair player. Tough, but fair.

"When you do it like this you have to be consistent across all of the games, all of the decisions. And if they isolate one - it's a little bit the same as against Crystal Palace, definitely.

"When you saw that incident you should have sent off three or four players and not only one if you're really consistent."

Casemiro will start his four-game domestic suspension against Fulham in the FA Cup next weekend, and he will also miss the league matches against Newcastle United, Brentford and Everton.

However, last summer's arrival from Real Madrid will be able to play in the Europa League, so he is now expected to be a certain starter against Real Betis in Seville next week. body check tags ::
