Rashford SENT OFF with straight red, ruling him out of critical Galatasaray game

Marcus Rashford was sent off with a straight red after 42 minutes in Manchester United's Champions League game against Copenhagen.

The forward was dismissed after a VAR review on his challenge against Elias Jelert.

While Rashford tried to protect the ball, he accidentally stamped on the shin of the Danish defender.

He will now miss their crunch clash against Galatasaray in the next game.

Robbie Savage said on TNT Sports: 'That, for me, is a red card. When you see that angle, I think that is a red card. When you see it there, he’s just gone to protect the ball, but by doing that, that’s a straight red. One hundred per cent a red card.

'He’s gone to protect the ball, but as we can see, studs on the shin. He’s gone to get his body between the opposition player and the ball, but by doing that, he’s inadvertently stamped on his shin.

'No complaints, it’s a red card.'

Minutes after Rashford was sent off, Copenhagen got one back to make it 2-1 via Mohamed Elyounoussi.

Then nine minutes into stoppage time in the first half, Diogo Goncalves scored from the penalty spot after Harry Maguire's handball to make it 2-2.
