Luke Shaw should have been sent off for 'dangerous and reckless' challenge, insists Jamie Redknapp, despite Kevin Friend opting for yellow after VAR looked at incident for over FIVE MINUTES

Jamie Redknapp insisted Luke Shaw was fortunate to escape with just a booking for a 'dangerous and reckless' challenge on Johann Berg Gudmundsson and that VAR got it wrong despite taking over five minutes to make a decision.

Referee Kevin Friend initially allowed play to continue when Shaw flew into a 50-50 with Gudmundsson during the first half - despite incensed appeals from Burnley players - and the hosts almost got a red card themselves moments later when Robbie Brady brought Edinson Cavani down outside the box.

Brady was the last man in defence and mistimed his challenge to thwart a threatening attack from United, which prompted VAR to take a look at the possible red card after he was just given a caution.
