Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes expressed his frustration after VAR failed to award a penalty to Amad during the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth. United had taken a 1-0 lead through Fernandes' spot-kick when Amad was pushed to the ground in the area, but referee Stuart Attwell waved play on. VAR official Craig Pawson reviewed the challenge and upheld the on-field decision.
Moments later, Ryan Christie equalised for Bournemouth. United regained the lead, but Harry Maguire then conceded a penalty for a similar push on Evanilson, receiving a red card in the process. Fernandes questioned the inconsistency, stating: 'Either one is a penalty or neither is a penalty.'
Speaking to Sky Sports, Fernandes said he was more disappointed than frustrated, emphasising that the decision could have changed the game. He noted that smaller players often miss out on fouls, while larger players get them. The draw leaves United four points ahead of Aston Villa, who play their game in hand on Sunday.
