Jamie Carragher gives verdict on Marcus Rashford red card

Manchester United faced Copenhagen and suffered a defeat in a thrilling 4-3 game.

United opened the scoring as Rasmus Hojlund scored a double, however, Copenhagen equalised before the half-time and Marcus Rashford was sent off at the 42 minute.

Rashford was given a straight red card after felling Jelert when aiming to protect the ball.

This is never a red card

Rashford is looking to protect the ball and leaves his foot a little too high. That makes it at most a yellow card

Football fans this is not the same as the Jones and Romero red cards as he has the ball under control

He wrote: “No way is that a red card for Rashford! Hate these slow motion replays & still images that make everything look 10 times worse.”
