Carrick Issues Martinez Verdict After Moment of Madness Costs Man Utd
Joe Cole said Martinez has run his course after a second yellow in Chelsea’s 2-0 win left Manchester United winless in nine games.
- 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.
