What next for Lisandro Martinez at Man United? Micky van de Ven links‚ frustration and contract stance
Dominic Calvert-Lewin escaped punishment after tugging Marc Cucurella's hair during Leeds' FA Cup semi-final clash with Chelsea. And fans are questioning why he didn't face consequences after Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez was sent off for doing the same to the Leeds striker in April.
Red Devils boss Carrick is without first choice centre backs Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez with the pair serving suspensions after picking up red cards against Bournemouth and Leeds respectively. Maguire had missed the defeat by Leeds through his one-match ban after conceding a penalty against the Cherries‚ but was hit with a further suspension on Wednesday due to an X-rated altercation with fourth official Matt Donohue at the Vitality Stadium.
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. Maguire was sent off at Bournemouth last month and missed Monday's defeat by Leeds United through suspension - but now faces a further one-match ban. United are already likely to be without Lisandro Martinez‚ who is facing a three-match ban for a red card of his own against Leeds. That means their centre back pairing for Saturday's Premier League game away at Chelsea could be made up of 20-year-old Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven‚ 19.
Lisandro Martinez's red card for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's ponytail proved costly on Monday night as Manchester United fell to a 2-1 defeat against bitter rivals Leeds at Old Trafford. Although hair pulling is not explicitly mentioned in the laws of the game‚ it is deemed 'violent conduct' regardless of intent or severity‚ which often leads to huge backlash among fans‚ players and managers over 'soft' dismissals. The controversial red card at Old Trafford followed intervention from VAR official John Brooks‚ who advised referee Paul Tierney to review the incident after spotting the hair pull on Calvert-Lewin.
Michael Carrick furiously hit out at the decision to send off Lisandro Martinez after Leeds boosted their survival hopes with a famous win at Old Trafford last night. Manchester United lost at home to their bitter rivals in the league for the first time since 1981 as Noah Okafor struck twice to clinch a 2-1 victory. 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. The Argentine was shown a straight red card on his comeback and will now be banned for three games.

Butt tells Lisandro Martinez to ‘f***ing grow up' as Ferdinand slams Man Utd teammates getting ‘personal'
CHRIS WHEELER: Lisandro Martinez has hit back at comments by Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt mocking his size‚ and dared the former Manchester United duo to repeat them to his face. Scholes and Butt joked on their podcast ahead of the 198th Manchester derby that Martinez's battle with Erling Haaland was such a mis-match that the 6ft 5in City striker would pick up the 5ft 9in United defender and throw him in the back of the net.
Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes have invited criticism from sections of the Manchester United fanbase after the pair mocked Lisandro Martinez's ability to deal with Erling Haaland ahead of this weekend's Manchester derby. The former United midfielders were speaking on The Good‚ The Bad & The Football podcast as they discussed United's chances against Manchester City‚ who visit Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon. Comedian and United supporter Paddy McGuinness suggested the team could benefit from a bounce under Michael Carrick‚ saying: 'You know that new manager lift? I can see United beating City.'
Despite only having 33 per cent possession at Old Trafford‚ the Portuguese's side overcame the travelling Magpies thanks to a stunning left-footed volley from Patrick Dorgu in the first half. The Dane was deployed as a right winger in United's new-found system‚ which saw Amorim at last compromise on his principles and play a back four of Diogo Dalot‚ Ayden Heaven‚ Lisandro Martinezand Patrick Dorgu.
Manchester United could take some positives from their 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa but there was one glaring negative aside from the result. Towards the end of the first half at Villa Park‚ captain Bruno Fernandes pulled up with an apparent hamstring injury. He played the remainder of that half but did not reappear after the interval and was replaced by Lisandro Martinez.
