I see nothing untoward there...just a dude getting kneed in the face.
That’s got to be the first time I’ve seen Victor attack a cross like that.Was Lindelofs foul for Tuanzebe’s goal the correct decision?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
That’s got to be the first time I’ve seen Victor attack a cross like that. Very goodIt was kind of like when you first hit that trampette in gymnastics and realise you've grossly underestimated the spring.
Why is this funny? It was very dangerous, could have ended the life of the other player there. Definite red card.
If the ball was on the ground and the Sociedad player just let it past him (as he is allowed to do) while Lindelöf tries to catch the ball, misses and tackle the Sociedad player there would be no discussion. Of course it would be a foul.
Its no difference just because the ball is in the air.
Goes for the ball, misses, takes the player out : clear foul.

We've been amalgamated dude.
What was funny was people thinking its not a foul.
The defence of it in the match thread is what’s funny.
It's one of the clearest fauls ever made, and I really love that so many people disagreed. Absolutely insane. No wonder fans of every team believe the refs are consistently against them.
The game's gone 
Come on now. Might as well just shoot him on the spot and be done with it.
Was a foul and yellow correct decision, he jumped very high and lost a bit of control up in the clouds but no intent.
Finally Lindelof emotes, alas violence did ensue.
Unlucky for Axel.. but clear foul.
I mean he's not dead and in fact alive and well and uninjured, thus it can be funny.
How is this even a debate? 100% Brutal assault - feel sorry for the thief he chased down the road now
Impossible not to see the similaritiesWas hoping somebody would pop up with the gif
No
Victor 'two extremes' Lindelof.
To be fair, I was having fun a little bit here. I don't think it was a foul either way.
Sign of endearment in Sweden
How come he cant jump that high when hes defending our goal?
Paul Scholes thinks it should stand
He couldn't complain if he was shown one, however I think the defender stood there was very naive. Ferocious from Lindelof though. I'd be livid if I was on the other side. This is "better" than Jonny vs Drogba.
Im kind of with him.Paul Scholes thinks it should stand
Goal could have stood. Still could have booked Lindelof.
Just wondering if a keeper came out to catch the ball, was totally focused on the ball, as Lindelof was, and the opponent stayed rooted to the ground and the keeper caught that player on the head with his knee, and then spilled the ball as he came down in a heap, what would the decision be?
Free kick to the keeper. 100% of the time.
Great minds
You gave me a good laugh. Watch the incident again a few times, surely you will change your mind
Well done.
Why? It happened while play was going on. If someone gets fouled during play you stop play
De Gea is slow enough to come of his line as it is, let alone if he has to deal with Lindelof flying through the air like Liu Kang.
Why doesn't he jump that high when defending corners and free kicks?
Ha, I know this, it's a trick question as De Gea would be rooted to his line and in no danger of being in this situation.
Yeah, I agree with the decision. But I’m sure there are fouls every game between players that don’t affect the outcome of a goal/opportunity.
The foul didn’t affect the outcome. That must happen so often and VAR doesn’t delve that deep into it.
Damn, was hoping for more of the insane takes saying it wasn’t a foul from the match thread. Was way more interesting than the actual game.
People found their glasses after the final whistle it seems.

I just game here to see it again.
The way that defender looks at the last second before he gets hit with the knee.

It is a red card. He nearly concussed the guy.
