21 penalties it's a joke.

I guess everyone who questions the 21 pens needs to look at each and every one of them and decide if they're each genuine penalties good luck looking through all of them! You'll be watching YouTube vids of them all night long!!

21 pens and the only one definitely wrongly awarded was the Fernandez one at Villa.

Plenty not awarded to United that could or should have.

Think someone shared a youtube vid when we got to 19 of them all, and there was only really 1 that was nailed on wrong, and one that half the time you get, half the time you don’t.

I wonder how many more 50/50 decisions United get compared to everyone else.

It’s not about whether the penalties were wrong decisions, it’s whether United get the benefit of the doubt more often than other teams. They clearly do.

lazio were awarded 18 penalties in 38 serie A games this season. so not too much looking required.

and watford actually scored a greater % of their PL goals this season from the spot than united did, but guess that doesn't fit the salty narrative.

That's about the sum of it. Maybe one or two that were a little soft, but really, we've mainly just been fouled a lot.

Benefit of the doubt is gone this season with VAR, perhaps now that VAR is double checking everything is what it making the difference

So you make an article crying about a penalty that you never bothered to check was legit?

Marvellous

Salah gets denied about 3/4 pens a game for what Utd get given penalties for Jay. Thats the problem. If Salah did what Martial did tonight, Utd fans be all over him for it.

I guess I am just stunned at that number. I thought getting 8 or 9 penalties a season is an average number. 21 seemed very high. And yes...maybe the question is how many of them were the type united would get and say we would not. Because VAR will not overturn anything unless it's crazy wrong.

No there was one where James went down and Rashford took it and missed. That one was wrong.

Watch them all, you’ll soon realise it’s not really a conspiracy.

Take out tonight's pen - coz this narrative has been going on a while.

Look at all of the pens, and try and take off the tinted specs, the vast majority of them are clear cut.

Utd have been given pens for fouling the opposition. Never seen anything like this.

defender stretched for the ball, didn't get it, impeded James. Foul anywhere else on the pitch.

Keep your pants on. I stated that I did not check because A, the game is not being streamed on TV in the US where I am. And B, I am an Arsenal fan so I am not gonna bother find a dodgy stream for a United vs Copenhagen game. I posed a question...given ur opinion of faaack off right along

It featured in Sky's compilation of bad VAR decisions only just today. Seems like they agree it was a poor decision.

I can see why most are given but I don't think I've seen them.have one denied all season long.

I mean if you're talking about the one against Villa, almost every United fan will agree with you.

You could try this wild idea of not just cherry picking one example that backs up your point and ignoring the rest of them. Do you think the one against Brugge was dodgy? What about the one against City? No, what about Norwich?

I doubt you'll remember all of those off the top of your head, but if you were to go and check the penalties it might go some way to you shutting the fack up about dodgy pens.

Bet they never showed the Pogba one in the Villa game that wasn't given? Or the 2 v Palace earlier in the season that weren't given?

It's an anomoly to have so many but not a conspiracy.
