Erik ten Hag livid with 'inconsistent' officials after Casemiro sees red again

Erik ten Hag fumed about inconsistent officiating after Casemiro's second red card in five weeks left Manchester United clinging on to a point against rock-bottom Southampton.

Having bounced back from the seven-goal shellacking at Liverpool with a 4-1 win against Real Betis in the Europa League, the Red Devils had to show their character again.

Casemiro was sent off in the 34th minute after VAR Andre Marriner advised referee Anthony Taylor to review the challenge on Saints midfielder Carlos Alcaraz on the pitchside monitor.

Ten Hag was angered by that decision and some penalty calls as United dug deep to stave off impressive Southampton's threat in a hard-fought 0-0 draw.

"Well, what I think is the inconsistency (means) players don't know any more what is the policy," the United boss said on Casemiro's sending off.

"I think it's all across. I mean, you see yesterday, Leicester-Chelsea, then VAR is not coming on the line.
