Manchester United players at risk of suspension: Defensive duo and midfielder in danger of ban Manchester United will hope to build momentum in the Premier League following a dramatic win in the Manchester derby.
As every club have already been made fully aware of this season, players who pick up five yellow cards in the first 19 matches of the Premier League season are hit with a one-match ban.
Fortunately, United have nobody serving a suspension for this weekend’s game at home to Bournemouth and the match against Newcastle United on December 30 is the final game in which suspensions will be handed out for a fifth yellow card.
Whilst it has been a hugely disappointing campaign so far for the Red Devils - currently sitting 13th in the table, heading towards the halfway point of the season - last weekend’s victory at the Etihad Stadium was proof that Ruben Amorim can turn things around.
Man Utd have received 39 bookings in 16 league matches, though because Bruno Fernandes’ red card against Tottenham was overturned following a successful appeal, they are one of only six clubs to have not had a player sent off.
