Matheus Cunha faces extra Champions League ban for breaking rules straight after Man United win

Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha could face an extended Champions League suspension after returning to the pitch to celebrate following a comeback win. After scoring twice in the second half, Cunha was sent off for two yellow cards. Despite the dismissal, he watched the final minutes from an advertising board and attempted to re-enter the field after full-time before manager Michael Carrick intervened.

Under IFAB Law 12, dismissed players are prohibited from re-entering the pitch and must remain in the dressing room or spectator areas. Breaching these rules could result in an extended European ban and fines, pending the referee's official match report. Cunha is already ruled out of United's next European fixture against Sporting CP.
