Man United manager, Erik ten Hag, was outraged that his side hadn’t been awarded a penalty at White Hart Lane on Saturday evening during his side’s fixture against Tottenham Hotspur.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, the Dutchman couldn’t believe the Red Devils didn’t get the spot-kick decision, despite the ball clearly striking Cristian Romero’s outstretched hand – which also completely changed the direction of the ball.
Had the penalty been awarded and United scored, it may have put an entirely different complexion on the game.
"We deserved a penalty. Absolutely a penalty!" ??

The comments of a desperate Manager. Needs to rely on penalties rather than the skill of his players to score in open play. With Rashford leading the way,you can understand his desperation. Rashford has got his new contract and reverted to being lethargic and disinterested.
