Man United fans fume after being denied a first-half penalty in Premier League clash with Southampton

Manchester United fans were left furious after the Red Devils were denied a first-half penalty in their match with Southampton on Thursday night.

After struggling in the early stages of the contest at Old Trafford, United felt they should have been awarded a penalty when Kyle Walker-Peters appeared to handle the ball inside the penalty area.

The Southampton full back went up for an aerial challenge with Amad Diallo and missed his header before seeming to control the ball with his arm.

Referee John Brooks waved away United's appeals, and his on-field decision stood after VAR checked the incident.
