‘A shocking decision’: Carrick fumes over Martínez’s red card for hair pulling
‘A shocking decision’: Carrick fumes over Martínez’s red card for hair pulling. ‘It is not aggressive, there is no jolt,’ says United coach Daniel Farke hails ‘amazing’ league win at Old Trafford Michael Carrick branded Lisandro Martínez’s red card for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair as “shocking” and said Manchester United may appeal as the defender faces a three-match ban.
‘It is not aggressive, there is no jolt,’ says United coach Daniel Farke hails ‘amazing’ league win at Old Trafford Michael Carrick branded Lisandro Martínez’s red card for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair as “shocking” and said Manchester United may appeal as the defender faces a three-match ban. If the sending off in United’s 2-1 defeat by Leeds at Old Trafford on Monday night stands, Carrick could be without his two first-choice centre-backs for Saturday’s trip to Chelsea as Harry Maguire may be suspended for a second match.
Martínez was sent off after 56 minutes when Paul Tierney, after reviewing the incident on the monitor, ruled it a red-card offence, with Leeds 2-0 ahead.
