Paddy Crerand questions lack of penalties

Manchester United legend Paddy Crerand is mystified by the number of penalties that have not been awarded to the Reds this season, although he has some sympathy for referees.

United are one of three teams to earn a single penalty in 23 Premier League games in 2016/17. That tally remained the same following Wednesday's 0-0 draw against Hull City, when the Reds were denied a possible spot-kick when Zlatan Ibrahimovic went to ground following a collision with Tom Huddlestone.

Writing in his United Review column prior to kick-off at Old Trafford, Crerand stated his belief that Jose Mourinho's team can feel hard done by in relation to penalty decisions this campaign.
