Manchester United defender Harry Maguire was suspended by the FA for the upcoming Premier League clash with Chelsea over the allegation that he specifically referred to the match officials during last month’s draw against Bournemouth as a “f-----g joke.”
Maguire was sent off in the final quarter of the Bournemouth match upon conceding a penalty that was perceived as denying a goalscoring opportunity. There was already frustration because United had seen a penalty appeal for a challenge on Amad Diallo dismissed moments earlier.
