Yeah, I think he was lucky in the game that no blood was drawn.

There were incidents leading up to it so while it might not have been wholly intentional, he certainly had no love for Ibra after being tossed to the ground earlier and Ibra nearly catching him with his foot moments before.

By the way, is tossing other players to the ground without sanction a thing now? Pretty sure Pogba did it twice this season already (Joe Allen and Jordan Henderson)

Granted that I cannot recall many cases, but is there precedent for retrospective action being dealt out for this?
Slippery slope because then players will require retrospective action for pushing other players to ground with force as well.

If the ref saw it, then probably a yellow, if the ref doesn't see it, turns around and one guy is on the ground, he cannot act unless his assistants saw the incident.

Its obvious that he intended to do so. They were at logger heads before that, and then in the slowmo, you see how he looks at Ibra and then stamps on him..an investigation will show that

Maybe we should start Fellaini up front with Zlatan and lump the ball to them ... can't really play our passing style of footie on there.

Zlatan isn't there.

I reckon Fellaini will definitely make the starting lineup and may even be slotted in at #10 for reasons you mentioned.

Eric Bailly has not travelled to Russia due to the one-match suspension that he earned as a result of his dismissal in United's last European match, away to Saint-Etienne.

Luke Shaw and Wayne Rooney are not in the group after starting against Bournemouth on Saturday, while Bastian Schweinsteiger has stayed at home, presumably with the minor injury that the boss revealed last Friday.

On a positive front, Henrikh Mkhitaryan has returned to the group and could feature for the first time since suffering an injury moments after scoring the only goal in last month's win in France.

Geez maybe Rooney should have gotten a run against Rostov...

No idea. No in game punishment either as far as I can recall.

The thing is that TV brings the game into the living room and whether the players like it or not they become role models.

So youngsters see this, realise that it wasn't punished and emulate it (Pogba is just an example - there are others from other teams who also get away with such behaviour).

Yes Can's slide tackle along with Wijnaldum that almost broke Walcott - went unpunished, that should have been a second yellow :p
