English FA has revealed another devastating punishment for Manchester United’s defender Partick Dorgu after his red card against Ipswich Town. THIS IS UNFAIR FROM THE ENGLISH FA.
In a tense showdown at Old Trafford, Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed the club’s decision to challenge the Football Association’s (FA) ruling that handed defender Patrick Dorgu a three-match ban. The Danish full-back was sent off with a straight red card in United’s recent 3-2 triumph over Ipswich Town, following a controversial tackle on Omari Hutchinson.
The incident occurred in the 43rd minute when Dorgu’s challenge initially went unnoticed by the referee. However, after a review by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), the official consulted the pitchside monitor and ultimately decided to dismiss Dorgu for serious foul play. As a result, United was reduced to ten men, and Dorgu now faces suspension for key matches, including an FA Cup clash with Fulham and Premier League encounters against Arsenal and Leicester City.
Expressing his discontent with the FA’s decision, Amorim stated, “We have opted to appeal against the ruling. It’s unfair.” He defended Dorgu’s intent, adding, “He was going for the ball. Maybe his approach was a bit aggressive, but he’s still gaining experience. He’s clearly Premier League material.”
The match itself was a rollercoaster for United supporters. A defensive miscommunication between Dorgu and goalkeeper Andre Onana allowed Ipswich’s Jaden Philogene to open the scoring. However, United responded swiftly, leveling the game through an own goal by Ipswich’s Sam Morsy, before Matthijs de Ligt put them ahead. The drama intensified when Dorgu’s red card left United shorthanded, allowing Ipswich to equalize once more through Philogene. Ultimately, it was Harry Maguire’s well-timed header early in the second half that sealed the victory for the Red Devils.
Following the game, Amorim also addressed Alejandro Garnacho’s visible frustration after being substituted in response to Dorgu’s dismissal. The young winger stormed down the tunnel, a move that raised eyebrows. Amorim acknowledged the situation, stating, “I will have a conversation with Garnacho about his reaction.”
With Dorgu’s suspension hanging in the balance, United faces a tough test in their upcoming fixtures. Their appeal signals both their faith in the defender and their belief that the punishment was excessive. Fans and analysts alike will be closely monitoring the outcome, as it could significantly impact United’s performance in the crucial gam
es ahead.
