Gordon Hill, a Manchester United cult hero, criticized Lisandro Martinez after his red card against Chelsea. Hill stated that Martinez was a liability and 'another one of those buys that has not worked out.' Martinez was sent off in the second half after a high arm caught Wesley Fofana, leading to a penalty and United's eventual 2-0 defeat. Hill's comments came after the match on social media.

Lisandro Martinez's performance against Chelsea was marred by two bookings, the second of which was for a high arm that caught Wesley Fofana, resulting in a penalty for Chelsea. The incident was reviewed by VAR, and referee Peter Bankes awarded the penalty and gave Martinez a second yellow card. Martinez's actions were costly for United, as Chelsea scored from the penalty and eventually won 2-0.

Martinez's red card against Chelsea means he will miss United's next Premier League match against Aston Villa but is eligible to play in the Champions League against Roma on Tuesday. Martinez has struggled with consistency this season due to injuries. Other pundits, like Sammy McIlroy on MUTV, supported the decision to send Martinez off, stating he deserved it for his challenge on Fofana.
