Premier League referee Anthony Taylor has had his controversial decision to award Brentford's second goal in the exciting 4-3 victory of Sunday over Manchester United.
United made a number of changes to the team that Athletic Club had defeated in the Europa League in the Midweek and had difficulty replicating a version of the same caliber in West Londs.
Despite the fact that he took Mason Mount early on, United was 4-1 late in the second half, after his own goal by Luke Shaw, two Van Kevin Schade and another by Yoane Wissa.
The visitors gathered late with Alejandro Garnaacho and Amad Diallo -leakded impressive efforts, but it turned out to be too late.
But it was the second that turned out to be controversial, where damage went home on the back post with United for a moment to 10 with Matthijs de Ligt wounded down.
The players of United complained to Taylor after the goal was given, and on Monday evening a rare appearance on Sky Sports, the officer set up the problem, and pointed out that there was no hint of a head injury to the Dutch defender.
'The most important consideration was that my responsibility is to decide whether the Ligt is seriously injured or not. In general you consider a serious injury to a head injury in the head, “he explained.
'In this situation because he is upright, I do not consider that serious and I allowed the game. It is probably more a mistake on Wissa than the other way.
'In this situation we were more than happy to let the game continue. Brentford was in a promising attacking situation, so that they don't want the game to stop. United was the defensive team, they probably want the game to stop. '
Premier League referees is only expected to stop the procedure for a 'serious injury', which as Taylor explains is largely a head injury or serious physical injury.
De Ligt remained on the ground after a challenge with Wissa, and he seemed to hold his hamstring at the time.
Despite the loss that United 15th late with three games to play, Ruben Amorim's side might be more concerned with the consequences of their Europa League campaign.
Although they already had one foot in the final last week after banging Athletic Club in Bilbao, the loss of De Ligt is a huge blow.
It is not yet confirmed the nature of the injury, but it was just back in the first start of the defender since 2 April, just from a new spell on the sidelines.
“I don't know, we'll check it. I hope it is [only] A small problem because I'm worried, not just about this game [against Athletic Club, but about the squad for the next year.
‘I hope it’s nothing serious. We took a risk with [Harry] Maguire [having to come on]. [Luke] Shaw had to go off [at half-time] Because we need players on Thursday. '
Bruno Fernandes could meanwhile be the target for an offer of large money from Al-Hilal this summer, but Manchester United is not planning to sell their captain.
The Saudi Pro League Club has the money for a star that signs after Mohamed Salah decided to stay in Liverpool and reports in the Middle East that the representatives of Fernandes held conversations with Al-Hilal on Monday.
It is clear that last year there was a first contact between the two camps before Fernandes signed a new contract with United until 2027 with the option of an extension of 12 months.
This season, the 30-year-old playmaker has again been the excellent UNITED performer with 19 goals and 18 assists so far. He is one of the few players who would not be open to the club for sale this summer if they want to rebuild under Ruben Amorim.
But United Sources said on Monday evening that there was no formal offer of Al-Hilal and that they would not want to sell Fernandes when an offer arrives.
