Marcel Sabitzer avoided a red card because VAR officials didn’t feel the Manchester United midfielder’s tackle was made with sufficient force or momentum.
Sabitzer signed for the Red Devils in January and has quickly made his presence felt in the heart of Erik ten Hag’s midfield. His arrival has been particularly timely after Casemiro was handed a three-match ban following a bust-up vs Crystal Palace.
The Brazilian was serving the final game of his suspension as United took on Leicester City, with Sabitzer partnering Fred. But Sabitzer was fortunate to escape a suspension of his own after an ugly-looking tackle on Foxes defender Wout Faes.
