Former Premier League referee Halsey has said that Brentford defender Collins should have been shown a red card vs Manchester United. Recall that VAR reviewed the incident and upheld referee Craig Pawson’s decision not to brandish a red card, ruling that Mbeumo did not have the ball fully under control.
Reacting, Halsey has said that Craig Pawson and VAR’s explanation for the yellow card was absolute nonsense, and the defender should have been red-carded immediately.
He added that MUFC will be very disappointed with that decision because they could’ve taken advantage of a sending off.
His words, “The statement from the Match Centre said that Mbeumo did not have control of the ball.
It doesn’t say in law about having the ball under control. It’s about the likelihood of keeping control of the ball. In my opinion, the Match Centre statement was absolute nonsense and it was a clear, clear denial of a goalscoring opportunity.
Manchester United will be very disappointed with that decision. A red card should have been shown to the Brentford player.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
