Fred avoids red card for headbutt in Champions League clash between Manchester United and PSG

Manchester United found themselves very lucky not to be both a goal and player down after 20 minutes against Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League clash on Wednesday.

Neymar had opened the scoring after just seven minutes at Old Trafford, before the Red Devils were left to sweat following a scuffle between Fred and Leandro Paredes which was reviewed by the Video Assistant Referee in the 22nd minute.

Subsequent replays showed both players squaring off, with Fred seemingly guilty of initiating a headbutt as he leant into the face of his opponent.
