It's definitely Scott McTominay when Manchester United beat Newcastle United. In addition to setting the record for the fastest yellow card, McTominay also injured his knee.
In the Boxing Day match at Old Trafford on Friday (12/27/2019) early morning local time, McTominay who became the starter immediately stepped on Sean Longstaff in a dueling struggle for the ball.
No doubt, referee Kevin Friend immediately brandished a yellow card in the 24th second. Opta noted, it was the fastest yellow card ever issued in the Premier League since data provider sites
calculated the average yellow card in 2006/2007.
MU then had left behind first by Matthew Longstaff scored in the 17th minute, before evening the score through Anthony Martial in the 24th minute. The first round closed 3-1 for Manchester United after Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood scored.

Di babak kedua, MU menambah satu gol lagi lewat brace Martial di menit ke-51. MU menang 4-1 sekaligus mengakhiri puasa kemenangan di dua laga terakhirnya dan memperbaiki posisi ke urutan ketujuh klasemen dengan 28 poin.
Meski demikian, kemenangan itu harus dibayar mahal karena McTominay cuma bermain sebabak sebelum digantikan oleh Paul Pogba. McTominay mengalami masalah pada lututnya sejak awal pertandingan.
Kehilangan McTominay tentu akan merugikan MU karena dia adalah pilar di lini tengah musim ini, sebagai pemutus serangan lawan dan juga kerap membantu lini serang, di saat Pogba absen panjang.
"Kami tidak tahu seberapa buruk cederanya. Mungkin ada masalah di ligamen lututnya. Jadi kita lihat saja nanti," ujar manajer MU.
"Si pemain memang punya semangat yang besar. Dia tetap bermain hingga babak pertama usai, tapi kami tahu dia harus diganti setelahnya. Kami akan mengecek kondisinya besok," sambungnya.
"Anda lihat sikap dari anak itu, di awal laga. Saya tidak yakin kalau dia bisa main lawan Burnley Sabtu nanti. Mungkin tidak, tapi kita tahu dia pernah pulih dengan cepat."
