Manchester United are set to make a formal complaint over the denial of a second penalty in Friday’s Premier League draw with Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
The Press Association understands the Red Devils will contact refereeing body the PGMOL on Saturday, with club officials furious about a second-half incident involving Amad Diallo.<\/p>\n
Diallo appeared to be pulled to the ground in the penalty area moments before Ryan Christie equalised for Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
Referee Stuart Attwell decided not to give the decision on the field and it was not overturned by VAR.<\/p>\n
A James Hill own goal put United back ahead but, to rub salt into the wound, Bournemouth were then awarded a penalty for a push by Harry Maguire, who was sent off, with the game ending 2-2.<\/p>\n
It is not the first time this season United have felt wronged by decision-making, including when Attwell disallowed a goal against Burnley, while they were also unhappy with nine minutes of added time.<\/p>\n
United’s interim manager Michael Carrick branded Attwell’s decision making “baffling” and “astonishing” in his post-match press conference.<\/p>\n
He said he had not spoken to Attwell after the final whistle and will take no comfort if the PGMOL admits a mistake was made.<\/p>\n
“It’s kind of, once it’s done, it’s done,” said Carrick. “You can have all the conversations in the world about could it have been this, could it have been that?<\/p>\n
“I just think that’s for VAR. If they’ve already given one and agreed that that was a penalty, then surely the next one should be a straightforward one? After it, there’s no point, whatever comes. Whether they apologise or not, it’s done now.”<\/p>\n
United remain in a strong position in terms of Champions League qualification but victory would have seen them close the gap to Manchester City to four points ahead of the international break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harry Maguire is sent off (Andrew Matthews\/PA) Manchester United are set to make a formal complaint over the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358090,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,917,43,1102,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-358089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-manchester-united","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358089\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
