Mark Clattenburg Calls Leny Yoro's Red Card 'Extremely Soft' in Atletico Defeat

givemesport.com —

Manchester United lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, with Leny Yoro sent off during the match. Former referee Mark Clattenburg called the red card "extremely soft" and disagreed with the decision. Clattenburg said the contact from Yoro on Jonathan David was "very, very slight" and not a clear and obvious error. The referee initially showed no card but changed his decision after a VAR review, reducing United to 10 men. Rio Ferdinand also criticized the dismissal on X, calling it "never a red card" and praising Yoro's performance. United are now winless in five games under Michael Carrick.
