Manchester United will cite the lack of punishment handed to Kevin de Bruyne for his tackle on Idrissa Gueye as they try to get Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s ban overturned.
The right-back was sent off for a dangerous tackle in the Champions League clash with Young Boys and was handed a two-match ban.
It has caused mass outrage in the United ranks, especially among the fans, where a similar challenge went unpunished at Manchester City.
De Bruyne planted a nasty tackle on Gueye’s ankle during the clash with PSG but the Belgian escaped with just a yellow card.
According to The Sun, United are prepared to cite this incident during an appeal to reduce Wan-Bissaka’s punishment ahead of their next Champions League match.
The Red Devils were without the former Crystal Palace star’s services against Villarreal and fielded Diogo Dalot on the right-hand side.
United did manage to claim a victory in the dying moments through Cristiano Ronaldo but only because of David de Gea’s earlier heroics.
The Spanish side got a lot of joy out of the flanks and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is concerned going into the next match in Europe.
Atalanta travel to Old Trafford next and are well-known for their quick style and wing-back formation that could hurt United on the wings.
