As Manchester United take on Brighton in the Premier League at dawn on Friday, midfielder Casimiru will have a lot on his mind as he will once again be facing his "nemesis" referee Marriner. The Brazilian international has already been red carded twice this season due to Marriner's decisions, and Casimiru will have to concentrate on avoiding the "red card slam" this season.

Back in February, when Manchester United hosted Crystal Palace, Kasmiru was shown a red card by referee Marriner after a clash in which he overreacted to his rival Wayne Shawshanks and was ejected from the game. Just a month later, United played against Southampton, Casimiru in a shoveling foul, VAR referee Malenna after receiving instructions to show Casimiru a red card.

Marriner pushed Casimiru to the red card list twice, accumulating a 7-game suspension. As for Brighton, they were eliminated by Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup earlier in the season, and it is feared that there will be a fierce battle for revenge in this match. Coupled with Malenna's enforcement, Kasmiru has become a high-risk figure on the pitch.
