Against Aston Villa on Sunday, Diogo Dalot received his fifth yellow card of the season so far. In line with Premier League rules, he will now miss Manchester United's final game before the World Cup break against Fulham.
It was the cherry on top of an awful cake for United who were well beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa on the day. Goals from Leon Bailey, Lucas Digne and Jacob Ramsey sealed their fate. It wasn't just the result that Erik ten Hag will be disappointed in but the performance as well.
But what has confused some United fans is that Dalot will be suspended for the fixture at Craven Cottage, but Joao Cancelo, who received a red card against Fulham in Manchester City's 2-1 win last weekend, will be available for City's home game against Brentford on Saturday.
