Carrick Issues Martinez Verdict After Moment of Madness Costs Man Utd

On Saturday, Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with defender Lisandro Martinez receiving a second yellow card for a reckless challenge during the second half.
After a VAR review, Referee Peter Bankes awarded Chelsea a penalty and dismissed Martinez for leading with his forearm while marking Wesley Fofana on a set piece.
Joe Cole said, "I think Lisandro Martinez has run his course," noting the defender's contract expires at season's end with an option to extend by 12 months.
The loss leaves United winless in nine games and vulnerable to relegation by weekend's end, though manager Carrick refused to blame Martinez during his post-match TNT Sports interview.
Morgan Rogers broke the deadlock five minutes after halftime, and Palmer converted the subsequent penalty to finalize the 2-0 scoreline as United struggled with ten men for 25 minutes.
