Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher feels Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay was lucky not to be sent off during his side's draw with Leicester City on Saturday.
The incident occurred when the Scotland international slid in late on James Maddison. After the challenge, the Foxes players were irate and surrounded Andre Marriner but the official only brandished a yellow card.
Gallagher didn't agree with the on-field decision but offered an explanation as to why VAR did not step in. He told Sky Sports: "I think he's very, very lucky. When you're a referee, one of the things you're taught from an early age when a player loses the ball with a heavy touch which he ( McTominay ) does then lunges for the ball is 'prepare, don't judge but prepare'.
