"Michael Carrick stated, 'That's two games in a row we've had those decisions go against us, but that one was one of the worst I've seen.' He emphasized the severity of the decision, saying, 'It's not a pull, it's not a tug, it's not aggressive, he touches it and gets sent off.'"
"'We didn't start the game particularly well. We conceded, which came after Leny Yoro got a forearm smash in the back of his head,' Carrick noted, indicating that the officiating affected the game's flow."
"'Worst of all is he was sent to overturn it as a clear and obvious error. It's shocking,' Carrick remarked, reflecting on the impact of the referee's decisions on the match outcome."
Michael Carrick expressed strong discontent over the red card issued to Lisandro Martinez during Manchester United's 2-1 loss to Leeds United. The decision followed a VAR review for violent conduct after Martinez pulled an opponent's hair. This marked United's sixth red card in the Premier League since last season. Despite a goal from Casemiro, United could not recover from the setback. Carrick highlighted previous poor officiating decisions and emphasized the negative impact on the team's performance and morale.
