Manchester United news: FA will not take action against Romelu Lukaku for alleged kick at Brighton defender

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku has escaped Football Association sanction for his alleged kick at Brighton's Gaetan Bong.

Images appeared to show the 24-year-old kicking out twice at the Albion defender just before Ashley Young's strike deflected in off Lewis Dunk to secure Jose Mourinho's men a 1-0 win.

Lukaku was left sweating on FA action as retrospective punishment for violent conduct would incur a three-man ban, ruling him out of the derby clash with Manchester City.

However, it is understood the striker will face no action from the governing body over the incident.
