"Dangerous game": Sabitzer foul causes a stir - Bayern loan hands out and has to take criticism

In Manchester United's 3-0 home win over Leicester City, Marcel Sabitzer made an ugly scene for which he was not even prosecuted.

However, there was criticism for this.

Manchester – On Deadline Day at the end of January, Marcel Sabitzer was transferred to Manchester United on a short-term loan basis, and since then the Austrian has been doing better and better.

The 28-year-old, who was looking for a new challenge due to the short playing times at FC Bayern, is now a regular at the English record champions.

Despite his good start on the island, he is currently under criticism.

The reason for this is a hard foul in the last game against Leicester - which, however, went unpunished.

Marcel Sabitzer: FC Bayern loan with over-hard entry – referee saw no foul

Manchester United met Leicester City at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon and went ahead after just 25 minutes with a goal from Marcus Rashford.

Shortly before the half-time break, Sabitzer made a hard foul, who had bad timing in a duel with his opponent Wout Faes and hit the Belgian with a stretched leg and an open sole in the knee.

For every football fan, the thing should be clear when looking at the moving images, as Sabitzer never hit the ball and his only bet was for the opposing knee.

However, referee Stuart Atwell did not see any serious offense on the Bayern loan, the attacked Faes was also able to continue playing despite the impetuous action.

The VAR had not reported either.

"Unbelievable": guest coach stunned by the action of FCB loan Marcel Sabitzer

The scene caused incomprehension and anger from Leicester head coach Brendan Rodgers.

The 50-year-old was also upset about Sabitzer's rude entry after the game, in which Manchester United won 3-0 with goals from the double packer Rashford and ex-BVB star Jadon Sancho.

The former Liverpool coach described the unpunished foul as "incredible" because the Austrian international "pulled through" and thus went "straight leg straight onto the knee" of his defender.

He wasn't wrong, even the experts shook their heads at the decision.

"If that's not a dangerous game, then what is it?": Sky expert Marcel Sabitzer takes on

Sky expert Graeme Souness also complained about the action and even accused Sabitzer of having accepted the risk of Faes being injured.

"He turns to the side, that's a classic case when you get involved in bringing someone down," said the Scottish football legend during the broadcast and added: "If that's not a dangerous game, what is?"

So the game ended lightly for Sabitzer, after 80 minutes the asset of his team said goodbye without a warning.

The home game against Leicester was the third Premier League game in a row in which Sabitzer was on the pitch from the start.

He was only substituted on his debut against Crystal Palace.

The Upper Austrian is apparently closer to his goal of collecting more minutes and becoming a mainstay of his team than he was in Munich.
