Manchester United tried and failed to appeal the controversial red card shown to Lisandro Martínez during this month’s Premier League defeat to Leeds United, forcing the center back to serve a three-match suspension as originally sanctioned.
Martínez was sent off early in the second of the match at Old Trafford on April 13, with Leeds already 2–0 ahead and going on to claim a 2–1 victory. In an aerial clash with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the Argentine was adjudged to have pulled the striker’s hair.
