Manchester United defender Harry Maguire said he did not intend to hurt Michigan Batshuay after a frightening blow in Monday's match against the Chelseas.
Maguire came out of the field lines and then struck the Belgian leg attacker in the genital part, causing a shock.
The incident escaped with impunity from the VAR, with the English man who found his way back to winning 0:2, following news.net.
I know I hit him and I felt he'd fall on me and my natural reaction was to direct my foot to stop him from being”, he told Sky Sports after the game.
“There was a strong blow and it wasn't on purpose. I think it's the right decision. I knew I'd hit him, but I didn't mean to hurt him. It was just a natural reaction. I apologized to him, and it was good that the judge understood”.
