Manchester United head into the March international break on the back of a 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth. Already fraught with injury, the Reds’ defence took a further blow when Harry Maguire was sent off<\/a> during Friday evening’s trip to the Vitality Stadium.<\/p>\n United were held to a 2-2 draw by <\/a>the Cherries during the encounter, but it was Stuart Attwell’s decision to show Maguire<\/a> a red for denying Evanilson a goalscoring opportunity in his own box which dominated the headlines. It came on a day in which Maguire received a call-up to the England national team<\/a> by Thomas Tuchel<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 33-year-old is part of a 35-man England squad to take on Uruguay and Japan at the end of the month. However, he will now be ineligible to take part in United’s clash with Leeds<\/a> come April 13 as a result of a one-match ban.<\/p>\n Get MEN Premium now for just \u00a31 <\/strong>HERE<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 or get involved in our United WhatsApp group by clicking <\/strong>HERE<\/a><\/strong>.
