Rio Ferdinand and Mark Clattenburg criticise decision to send off Leny Yoro vs Atletico Madrid
Story updated
The story in brief
30-second readManchester United’s attempts to get back into the game against Atletico Madrid were ended by a red card. Leny Yoro received the first red card of his professional career when he was dismissed against Atletico Madrid .
VAR intervened after Ademola Lookman was brought down when through on goal. Yoro was judged to be the last man and referee Glenn Nyberg sent him off, after checking on the screen.
Former referee Mark Clattenburg felt the decision was harsh. He told Amazon Prime: “The contact is very very slight. I don’t believe it deserves a red card.” Manchester United were 1-0 down at the time, and conceded a second goal shortly afterwards.
