Lisandro Martinez red card was ‘mutinous’ as call made for him to never play for Man United again

Wait 5 sec.

Lisandro Martinez has been labelled ‘pathetic’ for his quickfire red card during Manchester United’s defeat at Chelsea.Football writer Henry Winter also described the sending off as ‘almost mutinous’, as the centre-back picked up two yellow cards in the space of 83 seconds.Martinez didn’t take his red card too well and had to be pushed away by AmadGettyMartinez’s first yellow came as he got into a battle with Morgan Rogers. Rogers turned Martinez, who hauled him to the ground.From the resulting free-kick, Chelsea were awarded a corner and Martinez was tasked with marking Wesley Fofana.Martinez lost his man and ended up chasing after him to the back post and elbowing him in the face while not looking at the ball.VAR recommended an on-field review for the foul and a penalty was awarded with a second yellow card for Martinez then coming.And speaking with Shaun Custis on The Sunday Edition, he said: “This was just pathetic. 83 seconds, he gets rolled and turned by Morgan Rogers and manages to bring him down at the third time of asking.“Then, he loses Fofana at the corner and leads with his elbow into him and is sent off. He quite rightly gets blanked by Michael Carrick as he goes down the tunnel, it is almost mutinous a red card like that.“It is a case of what are you doing? I thought it was absolutely shocking.”And Man United broadcaster Scott Saunders believes that the Argentine shouldn’t play for the club again.Speaking on the talkSPORT Goals Show, he said: “This guy is an idiot. I know he likes to play on the edge, but that is pointless. It is pointless.“The game is already gone because they are 1-0 down, but that is the icing on the cake.Man United have won just one Premier League game all seasonAFP“There isn’t loads of contact, but you are giving the referee a decision to make. I cannot get over this guy. This guy can’t play for Man United again.“He has been my favourite player for years because I talk about intensity and tenacity, and he gave some of that that made me gravitate towards him because it made me feel as if he cares.“He is meant to be a leader in this team and if that is how leaders act, I dread to think where we are going. I cannot believe he has been that stupid.“He shouldn’t be picked again.”How did Carrick react to the red card?Man United started the game the better of the two teams and should have scored at least a couple.Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo were the biggest culprits with two sitters.Man United are in a relegation battle at the momentGettyMatheus Cunha also had a goal ruled out for offside, meaning the teams headed in at 0-0 only for Rogers to run through the middle of the defence and open the scoring with a deft chip.Martinez was then sent off and Cole Palmer dispatched the penalty.And after the match, Carrick was asked about Martinez and if he’d let him down, but he just shook his head.
