Lisandro Martinez picked up his third yellow card this season against Tottenham, while Kobbie Mainoo sits on the same number after Bruno Fernandes was sent-off.
The Argentine is walking on a disciplinary tight-rope for Manchester United after he was shown a yellow card vs Tottenham, compounding the club’s triple suspension risks.
The no-nonsense Argentina defender is at risk of a one-match suspension – after accumulating three yellow cards – with the latest coming for a foul in the centre-circle on James Maddison in the second half against Tottenham. Erik ten Hag will already have to make-do without captain Bruno Fernandes after his red card in the same game.
Sunday afternoon’s caution takes Martinez to within two bookings of a suspension. He will look to steer clear of a ban for accumulating five yellow cards, with the cut-off point still months away.
