United have faced controversial penalties in two consecutive games, the FA Cup against Middlesbrough and the Premier League FC Burnley, the opponent can judge the handball or not, and the ambiguous offside and fouls of the side, the referee and VAR have made decisions against the Red Devils. Mibel's goal was valid and both of United's goals were cancelled.
After Solskjaer's dismissal, United seem to have lost a lot of penalties in the past two seasons and benefited from the good luck of VAR, returning to the state in which Mourinho and Van Gaal were targeted by referees. But from the perspective of rules, these 3 penalties are not misjudgments, and Manchester United can only blame themselves for not doing a good job of details.
And, rather than blaming referees for their own uncontrollable control, United's own players should take responsibility. United failed to win this game, and the number one sinner was captain Maguire. On the offensive end, he was in an offside position and also took the initiative to make physical contact with the opposing player Jay Rodriguez, leaving an excuse for offside interference with the game. Defensively, he grabbed Burnley centre-forward Wegghorst, was turned over by the opponent, sent a wonderful pass, and the £80 million Iron Guard returned to intercept Rodriguez, who wanted to intercept the ball, and was thrown away by the opponent again, and scored.
During the game, Maguire made another defensive mistake, once again being passed by Rodriguez, who could only use fouls to prevent the opponent from forming a single knife. Referee Mike Dean opened the net, showing only a yellow card, not a red card.
Manchester United legendary centre-back Leo Ferdinand also criticized Maguire after the game for taking responsibility for conceding a goal. 'Manchester United conceded a goal, from Harry's (Maguire) point of view, his defence was terrible and he had to take responsibility for it. Ferdinand said, "There was also that tactical foul that just crossed the middle line, and he was lucky to be able to stay on the field. The performance of this game, he will certainly not be satisfied, I do not know if this is the sequelae of the European Championship, he is physically and mentally unstable, with his position should not be so. Of course, not only Maguire, but the whole team must also be responsible."
Ferdinand analyzed in detail: "At that time, McTomine was already defending, what Maguire had to do was to force the opponent to slow down, not to rush up, his wrong choice, gave the opponent the opportunity to show his skills, Weghorst sent a De Bruyne-style pass. Subsequently, Maguire's speed dragged him down and he was unable to catch up with Rodriguez. But the key is that United didn't stop the attack from the source, Burnley's No. 9 was away from goal, and McTomine was defending, Maguire should slow down, and small mistakes in major moments led to serious consequences."
Maguire himself believes that the team's failure to score a second goal is the key reason for the draw, and he has no way to stop Rodriguez's goal. "We all know that the second goal in the game is very important." Maguire said, "Our conceding goals were also disappointing, it was our own doing, and in the end I couldn't shovel Rodriguez because I was the last player and I felt we had enough time to score again, but we didn't do it."
As for the cancellation of Varane's manchester United goal in the first half due to his offside, Maguire said: "The referee said it was offside, I didn't foul, maybe stopped the other side from running, but I don't think I can hold Varane without blocking him. As for the opposing ball, Paul (Pogba) was found guilty of a foul, and I don't think it was a foul."
