The Star
|April 15, 2026
MANCHESTER United interim boss Michael Carrick blasted referee Paul Tierney for sending off Lisandro Martinez in Monday's 2-1 defeat against Leeds.
-
Martinez was dismissed in the second-half at Old Trafford after the United defender pulled the hair of Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.Tierney showed the Argentine a red card after VAR officials told him to consult the pitch-side monitor.
United were trailing to Noah Okafor's first-half double when Martinez was dismissed. And although Casemiro got one back for Carrick’s side, they were unable to avoid the second defeat of his 11-match reign.
“T thought the boys, the way they went about it, they stayed positive and fought to get something out of it after another shocking decision to send off Lisandro,” Carrick said.
