    Manchester United failed in their attempt to overturn Lisandro Martinez’s red card for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair. The dismissal stands and Martinez must serve the full three-match suspension. ESPN’s refereeing review said the VAR intervention was always likely once the hair-pull was spotted, and later reporting confirmed United’s appeal was unsuccessful. Carrick has said he strongly disagrees with the call, but accepted that the club now has to move on

    Michael Carrick says he is not pushing Manchester United for a quick decision on whether he will keep the job permanently.

    Maresca Emerges as Leading City Succession Option

    Manchester City are preparing for the possibility of life after Pep Guardiola, with Enzo Maresca now the leading candidate if Guardiola leaves at the end of the season. The Guardian reported that discussions around Maresca have been positive, though Guardiola still has time left on his deal and no final departure decision has been confirmed. Maresca is already well known inside City after working as under-23 coach and then Guardiola’s assistant during the treble season. His strong spell at Leicester and later work at Chelsea have kept him high on City’s internal list, though any move could be complicated because he is still contractually tied to Chelsea after leaving in January.

    Paul Dickov believes Erling Haaland will go on to break the Premier League Golden Boot record and become the first player to win the award five times. Haaland is currently leading the race again and is closing in on a third Golden Boot. Dickov’s argument is simple. Haaland keeps scoring at a historic rate and should remain at Manchester City long enough to overhaul Thierry Henry and Mohamed Salah, who currently share the record with four Golden Boots each.

    Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester United was followed by reports of dressing-room tension involving Alejandro Garnacho. The winger, facing his former club, was said to have been confronted by teammates at half-time after a poor first-half display. The reporting comes from tabloid-origin claims relayed by Goal, not from a club statement or wider confirmed reporting. Garnacho came on early for the injured Estevao but struggled badly, with his defensive lapse on Bruno Fernandes preceding Matheus Cunha’s winner. The same report says frustration also showed on the pitch, where Cole Palmer was seen reacting to Garnacho’s repeated turnovers.

    Chelsea have sacked Liam Rosenior after fewer than four months in charge following a severe run of results, including five straight Premier League defeats without scoring. Calum McFarlane will take over on an interim basis. Other reports say the 3-0 defeat at Brighton proved decisive as Chelsea fell to seventh and drifted away from the Champions League places. The club said results and performances had dropped below required standards and that it will now begin a longer-term review.
