Marcel Sabitzer was lucky to avoid a red card after an extremely high and dangerous tackle against Leicester City.
Manchester United are currently third in the Premier League and looking to close the gap on their City rivals who surprisingly dropped points to Nottingham Forest yesterday.
They put themselves in a great position to do so after taking the lead in a frantic first half against Leicester City on Sunday Afternoon.

Marcus Rashford put his side in front with a clinical finish after a sloppy defensive error but they could’ve been down to ten men when Sabitzer made a knee-high tackle.
VAR reviewed but didn’t take any action, much to the surprise of many fans watching on.

Unreal that Sabitzer hasn’t been sent off for that tackle. What is the point in VAR if it can’t say that’s a red?
