Television pictures appear to show Lukaku kicking Bong at the 66th-minute corner from which Ashley Young’s deflected shot gave United victory. All three have to agree it is a straight red card for Lukaku to be banned for three matches. Against Brighton Lukaku failed to find the net for the ninth time in 10 matches but José Mourinho insisted he was unconcerned. “He didn’t score,” the Manchester United manager said. The way Lukaku won it, Mourinho suggested, was “phenomenal”.
