While wearing pink, Marcus Rashford saw red. The Manchester United forward butted heads, literally, with Burnley FC defender Phil Bardsley, and got himself sent off. The altercation left United reduced to 10 men, but they were able to see out result anyway, winning 2-0 at the Turf Moor.
Backed by a brace from Romelu Lukaku, United evened up their record at two wins and two losses as they head into the international break. Here is video of the incident between Rashford and Bardsley:

Rashford, due to his red card, will miss the next three games, which are against Watford, Wolves and Derby. His absence should provide more playing time opportunities for Anthony Martial. United now sit tenth in the league.
