Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez was somewhat fortunate to escape a red card during the Red Devils’ reverse at the hands of Aston Villa.
Erik ten Hag’s men slumped to a miserable 3-1 defeat at Villa Park. They found themselves 2-0 down after just 11 minutes with Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne scoring in what was a dream start for Unai Emery.
United thought they had found a route back into the game courtesy of Jacob Ramsey’s own goal just before the break. The Villa academy graduate would rubber-stamp three points for the hosts as he scored in the correct goal after half-time.
