Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku will not face any punishment after he appeared to kick out at Brighton & Hove Albion defender Gaetan Bong on Saturday.

News of the decision came via the Press Association's Simon Peach on Monday:

The lack of action is a boost for United, as it was feared Lukaku would potentially miss three matches, including the upcoming clash with rivals Manchester City on December 10. Before that United have games against Watford on Tuesday and Arsenal next weekend.

Per Rob Dawson of ESPN FC, the match official on the day, Neil Swarbrick, submitted his match report on Monday.
