Five Talking Points from Ryan Giggs' final home game in charge of Manchester United

#2 United almost hard done by refereeing decisions

Penalties at Old Trafford seem to have gone out of fashion. On any other day, given the amount of penalty shouts that they had throughout the game, United would have had at least a single penalty. And even a stamp by Meyler on Januzaj late in the game, for which he should have seen red, saw him leave unscathed. But, as they say, when it isn’t your day, it isn’t your day.

And, even though there were more hand balls in the penalty box in this game alone, than there is generally on an entire weekend, not one was punished. Although a couple of them would have been harsh as it was struck from close range, the challenge on Januzaj in the third minute and a clear hand ball by Quinn in the second half should have been punished. In the end, although it wasn’t, United still ran out comfortable winners.
