Manchester United Star Facing Extended Ban Ahead of Leeds United Clash Amid FA Charge
Maguire faces an automatic one-match ban and possible longer suspension after the FA said he used abusive or insulting words toward the fourth official.
- On Wednesday, The Football Association charged Manchester United defender Harry Maguire with improper conduct following his red card against AFC Bournemouth on March 20, citing alleged behavior toward the fourth official.
- Maguire was sent off in the 78th minute for a challenge on Bournemouth forward Evanilson inside the penalty area; referee Stuart Attwell's decision was ratified by VAR, prompting the defender to confront both Attwell and fourth official Matt Donohue.
- Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick stated, "We should have had another penalty," while captain Bruno Fernandes questioned why VAR did not intervene on a similar challenge involving Amad Diallo earlier in the match.
- The 33-year-old faces an automatic one-match suspension, ruling him out of Manchester United's Premier League clash against Leeds United on Monday, April 13, though he could receive an additional ban if found guilty.
- Maguire has until Thursday, April 2, to respond to the FA charge, after which United faces Leeds before traveling to Chelsea on Saturday, April 18, for their next fixture.
