Southampton supervisor Ruben Selles believes it’s a “waste of time” speaking about referees after his Manchester United counterpart Erik ten Hag criticised the choice to ship off Casemiro throughout Sunday’s 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian midfielder was initially proven a yellow card by Anthony Taylor after making a sliding problem on Carlos Alcaraz, earlier than upgrading his sanction after a VAR examine.
Describing his participant’s problem as “fair”, Ten Hag railed towards the “inconsistency” of officiating within the Premier League after a irritating afternoon for Manchester United.
Selles feels, although, that choices ultimately steadiness themselves out, and the Dutchman’s criticism was unneccessary.
“I got a look at it but I don’t want to speak about the referee’s performance,” Selles informed HampshireLive. “I think it’s a waste of time.
“The referee makes a decision, sometimes it goes for you and sometimes it doesn’t, that’s it.”
Southampton’s battling level got here as a lift to their survival hopes, although they continue to be backside of the Premier League desk.
Alongside Casemiro’s dismissal, Ten Hag was additionally sad that VAR didn’t intervene after Armel Bella-Kotchap appeared to deal with within the Southampton field.
For the Manchester United supervisor, the selections spoke to wider issues within the English prime division.
“What I think is the inconsistency, players don’t know anymore what is the policy,” Ten Hag defined. “We see it [in the] Premier League yesterday: Leicester-Chelsea, the VAR is not coming on the line.
“Especially [the Bella-Kotchap incident], it was clear and obvious handball, so what is the policy?”
Manchester United stay third and have a recreation in hand on Tottenham, who’re two factors behind Ten Hag’s facet in fourth.
