In a disappointing match for Manchester United, manager Michael Carrick criticized the red card issued to Lisandro Martinez, calling it 'absolutely shocking.' The dismissal occurred during a 2-1 loss to Leeds United, marking Leeds' first league victory at Old Trafford in 45 years. Martinez was sent off after a VAR review for tugging on the hair of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a decision Carrick believes is concerning for the future of the game. Despite being a man down, United managed to score through Casemiro's header in the 59th minute, but could not find an equalizer. With this loss, United remains seven points ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea, who suffered a defeat to Manchester City. Martinez's suspension will see him miss three upcoming matches, while Harry Maguire may also be unavailable due to an FA charge regarding improper conduct.
