United were furious after the game, and indicated they would make a formal complaint<\/a> to referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO).<\/p>\n

The Red Devils’ issue was around consistency, with two other penalties awarded in the game for holding offences.<\/p>\n

Manager Michael Carrick described the decisions as “baffling”, confused that Attwell’s decision did not match an earlier spot-kick given to his side for a pull by Alex Jimenez on Matheus Cunha.<\/p>\n

“So the Cunha one, he gives, the second one on Amad he doesn’t, which is, I think, almost identical, really, two hands on someone in the box, and they go over and they’re in control of the ball,” Carrick said.<\/p>\n

“Massive moment and I don’t understand how you can give one and not the other – it’s crazy. It’s as obvious as you can get.<\/p>\n

“It’s clear, if that’s what he believes is a penalty to start with then the second one has to be.”<\/p>\n

Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer agreed and said: “You should have given a penalty when you gave two like that. How on earth do you not give another one.”<\/p>\n

The KMI Panel backed the Cunha penalty 5:0, stating that “Jimenez clearly pulls the shirt of Cunha in a non-footballing manner”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"United were furious after the game, and indicated they would make a formal complaint to referees’ body Professional…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":577401,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-577400","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577400"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577400\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
