‘Absolute nonsense’ – Man Utd told Nathan Collins should have been shown red card for foul on Bryan Mbeumo in Brentford defeat by former Premier League referee
September 28, 2025
Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey has branded the decision not to send off Brentford’s Nathan Collins as “absolute nonsense” after his foul on Bryan Mbeumo during Manchester United’s defeat on Saturday. Collins escaped with just a yellow despite hauling down Mbeumo in the box, with VAR backing the referee’s call that the former Bees star wasn’t in full control of the ball after a lengthy check.
