Summary

Leny Yoro received a red card for Manchester United during their Champions League match against Atletico Madrid on October 13, 2026. The 20-year-old center-back was penalized for denying a goalscoring opportunity after a VAR review overturned the initial foul call against Atletico's Jonathan David. The match saw United falling behind just a minute in and conceding again shortly after Yoro's sending off when Ademola Lookman scored from a rebound. This incident is part of United's ongoing winless streak, with their next match against Leeds United approaching.
