"Manchester United profited from Tottenham captain Cristian Romero's red card to stretch their perfect start under Michael Carrick to four games, with a 2-0 win at Old Trafford in the Premier League. Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes on Saturday ended an eight-game winless run against Spurs for the Red Devils, who cemented their position in the Premier League's top four."
"But there could be lasting consequences for Romero after his ill-discipline cost his side just days after a social media outburst aimed at the club's hierarchy. Frank said the Argentinian international had been dealt with internally after he described Tottenham's threadbare squad as disgraceful following the closure of the transfer window. Romero's future as skipper had already been called into question, and the 27-year-old will now be suspended for four matches after his second red card of the season and sixth of his Spurs career."
