Aaron Wan-Bissaka: Manchester United defender's Champions League ban increased to two games

Updated 29/09/2021 at 12:31 GMT

The Manchester United defender was sent off in the defeat to Young Boys on matchday one, with the mandatory one-match ban increased to two games for “rough play”. The right-back will now miss the Red Devils game against Atalanta next month, as well as Wednesday night’s home clash against Unai Emery’s Villarreal.

Villarreal 'not a must-win game' says Solskjaer ahead of Europa League final reunion

Aaron Wan-Bissaka will miss Manchester United’s next two Champions League fixtures after his initial one-match ban was increased to two games for "rough play".

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side found themselves down to 10 men after 35 minutes in the shock 2-1 defeat to Young Boys a fortnight ago, after Wan-Bissaka’s challenge on Christopher Martins Pereira led to the 23-year-old being shown a straight red card.

UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body said Wan-Bissaka would be suspended "for the next two UEFA club competition matches... for rough play".
