On the 12th (hereinafter Korean time), in the 2022-2023 season English Premier League round 27 home game against Southampton held at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, Casemiro was sent off in the 34th minute of the first half. However, it ended in a 0-0 draw.

Manchester United came out in a 4-1-4-1 formation. Boot Behorst played as one top. Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandez, Jadon Sancho and Anthony were positioned in the second line. Casemiro kept it alone.

From left, Romain Perau, Armel Belakochaf, Jan Bednarek and Kyle Walker-Peters made up the back four. The goalkeeper’s gloves were worn by Gavin Bajunu.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Walcott tried to score with a header, but De Gea’s super save prevented the goal from being conceded.

Manchester United tried to counterattack. In the 26th minute of the first half, Anthony, who received a pass from the side, gave the ball to Bruno, who rushed in, and Bruno immediately tried to shoot, but it flew high. Behorst’s header in the 31st minute was too weak.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, it was decided that Casemiro’s attempted tackle was excessive, and at the end of the video review (VAR), a red card rather than a yellow card was given.

In the 38th minute of the first half, Baran’s shot came from a set piece, but it could not exceed the goalkeeper’s save. Manchester United had one player sent off, but they still hit hard. In the 44th minute of the first half, Verhost was brought in and McTominay was brought in to make a tactical change. However, the first half ended 0-0.

Fernandez’s right-footed shot from the left side of the arc circle bounced off the right goalpost after the opposing goalkeeper barely missed it. Two minutes later, Southampton also created a similar situation. Walker Peters fired a powerful left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty box, but it hit the left post.

Man Utd put up a winning streak. In the 28th minute of the second half, a large number of ‘young stars’ were put in. Alejandro Garnacho replaced Sancho and Facundo Pellistri replaced Anthony. Southampton also counterattacked by putting in Seko Mara and Adam Armstrong in the 31st minute of the second half. In the 39th minute of the second half, Southampton replaced Wilcott with tall striker Paul Onuachu to reinforce the score.
