I see nothing. The blow by blow accounts see nothing. The match retorts make zero mention of it bar all mentioning what a fantastic piece of defending it was. No one tried to claim foul play.
Because everyone with the exception of a few on here sees it for what it is. A nothing burger.

It gets brought up because of the confusion of VAR. It is difficult to understand why certain plays get looked at in slow motion and inspected for any sort of foul, and other plays get brushed off.
Just the other week we looked at Robertson’s kick on Welbeck and you said it is a certain pen because any illegal contact in the box is a foul. Why is that different then this situation? The only difference I see is that Welbeck flopped to the ground to get VAR’s attention, and Mane didn’t react.
