Former Liverpool captain Graeme Souness believes Marcel Sabitzer was fortunate to avoid a red card during Manchester United's victory over Leicester City on Sunday - which would have seen the midfielder suspended for their trip to Anfield next month.
The Austrian, who temporarily switched to Old Trafford from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich last month, launched a reckless challenge on Foxes' defender Wout Faes during the closing stages of the first half. However, referee Stuart Atwell deemed the challenge only to be worthy of a yellow card and VAR officials at Stockley Park also felt the challenge was not deserving of a red card.
But at half-time of Sky Sports' Super Sunday coverage, Souness insisted the United midfielder was lucky to avoid a sending-off and was in doubt that the challenge had all the hallmarks of "dangerous play".
