Maguire gets extra ban and will miss Chelsea trip
Harry Maguire will miss Saturday's Premier League trip to Chelsea after receiving an additional one-match ban following his red card at Bournemouth last month. The Football Association (FA) fined Maguire £30,000 and said he "acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards the fourth official following his dismissal". Maguire was sent off and conceded a penalty in the 78th minute of the 2-2 draw at Vitality Stadium for pulling down Evanilson in the box.
Maguire was charged with improper conduct for something he said to fourth official Matt Donohue as he made his way off the pitch. Donohue said that "Maguire, as he was leaving the field of play, approached me and shouted 'You're a joke. You're all a * joke'". Maguire denied directing the words towards Donohue or any of the other match officials present, saying "As I left the field of play following my dismissal I said something along the lines of 'it is a joke'," and "I am certain that I did not call the fourth official or any match official, a joke or use any other form of insult." Maguire** acknowledged that acting as he did was inappropriate and he apologised for saying what he did. The regulatory commission considered an additional two-match suspension but felt one match was appropriate.
Lisandro Martinez will also be absent at Stamford Bridge after being dismissed for violent conduct for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin's hair in Monday's 2-1 defeat by Leeds, which Maguire missed through suspension. Michael Carrick said it was "one of the worst" decisions he has seen and the United boss suggested the club will appeal against the Argentine's red card
