MUN 0-0 BUR: Why Man United should have been awarded a penalty in the first half

opera.com 2024/5/19

Erik Ten Hag's men made a slow start to today's Premier League game against Burnley as they are playing 0-0 at halftime. Meanwhile, Manchester United should have been awarded a penalty in the first half for some reason.

Burnley saw many chances to hurt Manchester United in the first half and Andre Onana denied them in most of their chances. The Cameroon goalkeeper was Manchester United's best player of the half. Antony also saw some chances to score but his shooting skill let him down. The host needs to raise their levels in the second half by creating more goal-scoring chances and taking them.

However, Manchester United should have been awarded a penalty when Alejandro Garnacho was brought down in Burnley's 18-yard box. A replay of the penalty incident shows that the Manchester United winger's foot was stepped on by Sander Barge and that should have been a penalty.

What are your thoughts on the penalty incident?
