Zero intention in it. Shite

Wasn’t intentional but it’s still a red.

Don’t like that call

I just dont think that kind of challenge should be a red card. It is just part of the play of the game.

Disgrace

Var when utd do anything:

🤬🤬🤬

That’s unfortunate. Is relatively consistent with what’s normally given in fairness

He’s not meant to do it but like they said it doesn’t really matter when his ankle could’ve snapped from that

Just when we're having a good game as well. Classic

i understand and it did look painful, but damn it still feels harsh

Man VAR has really fucxed football. How is that a red? Have these people never played football?

How can u even pretend to be surprised? Is he dumb?

VAR vs Man Utd needs to be investigated

It was a worse tackle than a couple of the others that have been given in the PL this year - no idea why that one commentator is surprised about it? Why are they arguing about if it's vindictive or not - it's obviously dangerous and lazy, even if not vindictive?

I think it’s a red but unlucky which happens. There was no intent to hurt him but rashford’s studs caught him above the ankle so there’s not too much to argue about

The ref only saw videos in slow motion ffs. This happens 3 times a games almost

This is just plain VAR re-refereeing.

That's a controversial call if it's any other club

That looks awful, but feel like the Copenhagen player has put his leg under Rashfords, he hasnt even tried to tackle. Just protecting the ball - but also lucky he’s not broke his leg. Pretty conflicting

Clearly no intent there but that has to be given

These refs should play a game of football for once. At least the people making the rules. If his happens every week nowadays without the opposing team even asking for the red card, maybe something is wrong with the rule.

He tries to make himself big and doesn't even see the foot when stamping on his ankle. Just idiotic stuff completely against the spirit of the game.

ffs he tracked back once since the start of this season and he got a red card

Reds like this are the stupidest thing ever, you're sent off for being unlucky... Might as well roll a lottery wheel before the game and send off random people... He was already stepping before the Copenhagen player stuck his foot there, what can he do? Sure it might be a red by the rules, but maybe we haven't figured out the rules.

No intent and he was in control. Seems harsh to me.

No intent == No red card

If he was even close to looking at the leg he plants his foot on then yea red all day, but come on man he's on the spin and completely facing the other way

Most people here showing they have never stepped foot on a pitch.

Dude is stepping to block the ball and the Copenhagen guy just sticks his foot in. Very unfortunate but if you get stepped on trying to play the ball it does happen.

When Cisse got his leg broken it was sad but it wasn’t a red card.

VAR is not doing its job properly.

Very unlucky, but still a red card.

Same reasoning as Romero. He doesn't intend to try and injure, however, he ends up risking that. Not as bad as Romero obviously, but still.

Seems very harsh IMO, obviously he’s going to be sent off though when the ref’s shown 18 replays in slow motion and a freeze frame

Fuck off

When will people learn INTENT doesn’t matter anymore

Wait people think this is a fair card??? nah this is a shocking one

Kinda ridiculous that. Looks red, but not intentional. Yellow would be deserving. Idk, that’s unfortunate.

Shielding the ball and an accident happens = a red? Sorry, shit happens sometimes, doesn't mean it's reckless. That's a stupid red and you can't justify it any other way.

His out of form rn . He hasn't done anything in this season

most of you guys have never played football of u think thats a red,

You have to be so shit at your job to make this call, the level of incompetence is unreal

That’s a red by the laws of the game but here’s my question: When they examine elbow-related reds, they always look for intent, player looking at opponent vs the ball. Why not apply the same logic to a situation like this? There’s obviously no intent there, it makes no sense.

It was not on purpose but it was really bad

This is just a dumb red imo. The only leg you have to stand on is that he steps on the guys ankle but there’s literally nothing in this. He is simply taking a step to shield the ball and the other play sticks his foot out right where he’s stepping. Is Rashford supposed to drag his feet along the floor to get where he’s trying to go? This is normal shit that happens in the game. Stop punishing players for freak occurrences and focus on what cards are for, dangerous plays. Nothing about this was dangerous, just unfortunate timing by both players.

"A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play."

Law 12

Apparently all you need to do is stick your leg under someone’s foot while they’re stepping to force a red card on the other team

Great precedent that will not be applied after today

Remember when Shaw leg broken in half and Moreno walked out no foul and then scored after? That's reckless.

Rashford 100% just tried to shield the ball and Kobenhavn player literally put his foot under where Rashford landed his leg when he didn't see it. There was nothing reckless there, it's just very normal action with no malicious intent at all.I thought it's just a common sense.....

Dont like that red at all, just trying to shield the ball

In no world is that a red to anyone who has actually kicked a ball before.

I don't really understand how he gets a red card for defending the ball when somebody else dives in for a tackle

Yet Bruno G was ignored for an even worst slap on the back of Jorginho’a head!

People forgot they were watching a Manchester United game

Will his suspension carry over into the Europa League?
