Manchester United's miserable season hit a new low against West Ham United, but even two of their most vocal critics had sympathy with the decision that lost them the game
Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer were left astounded by the decision to award West Ham United the game-winning penalty against Manchester United.
Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, Lineker said: "The penalty decision that won it for West Ham, I've looked at it about eight times and I can't see anything close to resembling a foul, let alone the fact that the referee did not give it and the VAR turned it over. It looks like a mistake to me."
Lineker added: "With the fact that the referee did not give it on the pitch and this really high bar this season, I come back to my point, I make it every week. Suddenly the bar gets lowered and a clear and obvious error to one person is different to another. I think it's almost unworkable in many ways unless they go to an appeal system."
