LEE DIXON called for Noussair Mazraoui to be docked a week's wages after a bizarre howler rarely seen in professional football.

The Manchester United defender fluffed a throw-in so badly against Leicester in the FA Cup that every fan could see it was illegal.

It came as the Red Devils battled for their lives as they trailed to a shock 42nd minute opener from Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

Fortunately for Mazraoui, sub Joshua Zirkzee flashed home an equaliser soon after the centre-back's "throw faux-pas".

But it didn't save the Moroccan from a savaging by ex-Arsenal hero Dixon.

The former England right-back told ITV: "Absolute foul throw. should be fined a week's wages for that.

And Dorgu was hauled off at half-time for Alejandro Garnacho.

However, Zirkzee then came on to help fellow Garnacho inspire the Red Devils into some belated momentum.

And on 68 minutes Garnacho raked in a left-wing cross that Caleb Okoli blocked, only for Zirkzee to sidefoot home.
