94th minute, Dalot is busting a gut to stop Salah, wins a throw-in but referee gets it wrong. Dalot entitled to vent yet jobsworth referee books him twice.
The referee is the glaring problem here, not the player.
RED CARD FOR DALOT!!! 🟥
He gets one card for shouting at the referee and then gets another moments later for dissent 😬

Rewatching United's win, Weghorst's goal should have stood. Maguire stressed at the time he didn't touch the ball. Sky's replay clearly showed Maguire didn't touch it, either. Yet the robotic ref in Stockley Park still got his lines out. Might as well get rid of the lot of them.

If Ronaldo stays he is not going to loom over the United manager as he did last season. Ten Hag is communicating concisely and clear from observing him and speaking to players he is not fazed by the dressing room. Authority has been restored to

If Pogba ever returns to
