People with an agenda like to go on and on and on about how United get all the decisions but just off the top of my head, here are some shocking decisions against us this season:
1. Van Persie goal about 2 yards over the line against Reading disallowed.
2. Ashley Young goal incorrectly ruled out for offside against City.
3. Evra should have had a blatant penalty in the same game.
4. Blatantly penalty not given to Nani in the defeat to Spurs.
5. Van Persie had a goal incorrectly disallowed for offside. Slips my mind against who but it was quite recently. Spurs away?
6. Varane should blatantly have been sent off in the 1st leg.
7. Evra should have had a penalty in the 2nd leg.
8. Absolutely cretinous decision to send Nani off effectively ruining the spectacle.
Can you think of any others?
Before opposition fans retort with some generic, ill-thought out retort such as *derp derp United get all the decisions derp derp." or "how Ironic a United fan complaining about decisions, derp derp." please provide evidence for decisions in our favour THIS season. Cheers.
Poor decisions against us this season

I'm not talking about the OT game Oscar. That game was evened out with Macheda's handball goal and the Chelsea offside goal.
I'm talking about SB. First half, Rooney ruled wrongly offside when one on one with Cech.
Second half, a foul given against Fletcher (when he won the ball and made no contact with Cole), the resulting free kick put in for Terry to head in while Drogba was standing in an offside position right in front of VDS.

Also interesting that the Turkish ref has an interesting record when it comes to sending off English based players in European and International games!

True but it's horses for courses, you robbed 3 points off of us last season and 3 points off of us this season from crap refereeing

Lol I think honestly we've not really had a decent United vs Chelsea reffed fairly either way for many a year. Atkinson certainly did us no favours on several occasions against you. I highlighted the SB incidents as it ultimately cost United the title so was costly. We probably got favourable decisions to help us win other games that season, I don't doubt it.
I think we'd all just like some consistency. Of course we accept mistakes, referees are human. But the interpretations of rules are all over the place.
Apply the rules like the ref did last night on Nani and not one game would probably finish 11 a side!
He also sent off Gerrard for England, Cahill in the World Club championships and Andrews for Ireland against Italy.

Nani was in the air before he even saw Arbeloa! How could have then avoided that? Who got to the ball first?
