Rojo deserved a red card for his challenge in the first half

Referee Michael Oliver failed to take the big decisions as Rojo made a two-footed challenge on Idrissa Gueye in the first half which should have been a straight red. He received just a yellow card which is baffling as Oliver was not far from the action when it happened.

It was a pivotal moment in the game and could have decided the outcome had Oliver shown some courage to give the marching orders to the Argentine. Marcos Rojo is another United player whose future does not seem to be at Old Trafford as he showed why he is not considered a first choice defender for the Red Devils.
