Solskjaer felt Southampton's Bednarek should not have been sent off. DUGOUT

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjær felt Arsenal's David Luiz and Southampton's Bednarek should not have sent off on Tuesday night.

Man Utd thumped nine-man Southampton 9-0 at Old Trafford on Tuesday night. 

It was a historic night for the Red Devils as they matched the highest margin of victory in a Premier League match. However, one of Southampton's red cards was for Bednarek for DOGSO as he was alleged to caught Martial from behind. As he did not make a challenge for the ball, he was given a red card instead of a yellow. 

Earlier on Tuesday, David Luiz was sent off in a similar incident at Wolves when he clipped Willian Jose from behind. Both decisions seemed harsh and even United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer called for the rules to be changed after the two incidents. Have a listen to his comments in the video above!
