Classic united

Just so so unlucky but probably a red yeah

Can incidental contact like this be a red card?

This is just ridiculous

People saying this is red have never actually played before

Wow we're not safe even in the UCL. That'll open the game up.

This is the worst call I’ve ever seen in my life

Clear red! He literally looks and then almost breaks the kids leg.

You gotta be redder than the devils dick not to see that

Never a red. Yellow at most. He's shielding the ball and doesn't look like he knows he's going to make contact, especially in that spot on the lad's ankle, even more so in the heat of the moment full speed.

I’m clearly becoming more and more out of touch because that’s never a red, but I’m seeing a pretty even split of opinions. Just wow. Shielding the ball. What’s next, players slides you while you’re running normally and if you step on him then it’s a red.

This has to be one of the most benign maneuvers I’ve ever seen given a red.

Definitely not his intention, but still 100% deserved red card.

Idiots in this thread, never been to a game in their life claiming it’s not a red 😂😂

As an Arsenal fan even I feel bad for Rashford. Genuine attempt to play the ball and no malice in it, just unlucky to get there later than the other player but is a red card.

That's harsh. It's neither intentional nor reckless. Just seems like an unfortunate incident.

Not a red

Seems like this kind of contact has pretty consistently been a red card this season. Obviously he doesn't do it intentionally but he still catches the guy in a dangerous manner.

No intent to do that to the player...

United get all the decisions sure

By the rules of the game this is a red. 100% excessive force used even if unintentional

anyone that says that isnt a red (regardless of intent) is genuinely insane

The fact this sub is agreeing it’s a harsh decision just confirms that Savage is an absolute tool.

I dont know man, do we give red cards for unfortunate clashes now. It was not a tackle, not reckless not out of control.

Seems ridiculous to be a red card.

Red seems a bit harsh but at the same time also correct somehow? Idk

Not malicious, not deliberate. He's eyes fixated on the ball (where feet will be). Slow mo making it look worse.

Orange for me.

What's the actual rule here? No mal intent = no red? Or any studs above the ankle = red?

This is one of those where I don't think there's any intention on Rashford's part, but it is a red. If he doesn't put his foot out so far then the contact is nowhere near as severe.

This sub makes me go insane sometimes.

It seems you have to break a bone for it to be a red card, and even then I’m sure half the sub would argue it’s not because it was an accident.

Zero intent nor an attempt at a tackle

Another VAR masterclass

Did not expect that

How is it a computer game to look at a clear red card and administer it?

What an absolute joke. Can't go a single game without the refs cheating. Joke pens every game so far and now this.

Honestly , one relaxed game is all i fucking ask for

Genuinely think it was a reckless challenge, but not malicious.

Still a red card though.

Doesn't know a thing about the player being there. Just trying to protect the ball. I mean come on now...

Absolute farce of a decision. How is VAR this bad. How is that violent. What are we doing

Game's gone

Guy just puts his foot where Rashfords is going

Man like yeah that's dangerous and if you watch it in slowmo on a computer screen it's probably a red but like...that shouldn't be a red card

Well that's just unfortunate for both.

Not intentional but looks awful, hard to argue. Could have caused serious injury.

They compared this guy with leao😭😭😭

It was accidental but it was high. Unfortunately intent doesn’t matter and it’s gotta be a red

If Romero was a Red, this is a red.

I'm actually worked up about this and I don't like united. Var has properly fucked football

Got a card from the ref but not ten Hag it seems.

LOL THIS SPORT IS FUCKING DEAD. Get out of here. Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense. Game is gone.

Obviously not intentional but could have caused serious damage with that.

Ouch

Fuck it looks completely accidental but Jesus Christ that ankle should not be bent like that

Game is gone. He is protecting the ball and the Copenhagen player sticks his leg in the way.

I'm nor sure about this one, too much reffing consequences and not actions. Rashy is protecting the ball, doesn't have any sight of the man moving into where he makes contact.

Ultimately that's a nasty piece of contact, but the degree of contact shouldn't really be so much of a decider.
