Louis van Gaal was unhappy with a stupid booking leading to Juan Matas red card in Manchester Uniteds 1-0 loss at West Brom.The Spaniard was sent off for the first time in his career for picking up two quick yellow cards, the first for preventing a quick free-kick and the second for tripping Darren Fletcher.Salomon Rondon then scored for the Baggies after the break to end Uniteds winning run and dent their top-four hopes. Asked about the red card awarded to Mata, Van Gaal told Sky Sports: The first was a stupid yellow card, you know it is a yellow card in advance. The second you know you already have one so you have to take that into account.
