Rafael Leão sees red: Man United target punches opponent in Portugal’s World Cup warm-up

Talk about terrible timing. Rafael Leão was sent off for punching Chile defender Ivan Román on the stroke of halftime during Portugal’s 2-1 World Cup warm-up win in Lisbon on Saturday, per Fox Sports.

The AC Milan forward swiped his hand across Román’s face after a scuffle near the corner flag — even Cristiano Ronaldo’s attempts to talk the referee out of a red card failed. Leão’s response? A smug smile as he wandered off. With Manchester United and Arsenal both tracking him this summer, it’s quite the audition tape — just not the one anyone wanted.
