UEFA have handed a one-match ban to Marcus Rashford for the Manchester United forward’s red card in the Champions League.
Rashford will now miss the Red Devils’ trip to Galatasaray next week.
The 26-year-old England international, was dismissed in United’s recent 4-3 lost to FC Copenhagen earlier this month for a challenge on Elias Jelert that was drawn to the referee’s attention for by the VAR official.
Referee Donatas Rumsas was called to review the footage on the pitchside monitor by VAR before dismissing Rashford for a foul on Elia Jelert.
That defeat has put Erik ten Hag’s men on the verge of crashing out of the Champions League group stages.
After the game, Ten Hag said, “The red card changed everything.
“We then conceded two goals before half-time that should never have counted – the first was offside, their player stood in front of André Onana, and the penalty [for the second] was very debatable.
“The red card was harsh. [Rashford] went for the ball, but the referee had such a long time to make it a red card. When you freeze it, it always looks worse. They took so long to make a red card of it.”
