Harry Maguire is set to be given a one-match ban - ruling him out of Manchester United's game at Chelsea - with the Football Association upholding his misconduct charge for swearing at a fourth official.

But Carrick was raging that VAR official John Brooks advised referee Paul Tierney to go to the monitor in the second half after spotting Martinez pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin 's hair.
