Man City left furious as Fred isn't penalised for handball in Manchester derby with VAR taking centre stage again

Manchester United saw VAR award them one penalty in a derby date with Manchester City, with the Blues left incensed after seeing another call against Fred waved away.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher told Premier League Productions of a decision on the stroke of half-time: "I think with the way the law is set up it’s not a penalty. It hits his arm no doubt about it but he’s on the floor, his arm’s close to his body. It strikes him, nothing more. And the referee quite rightly doesn’t give a penalty and the VAR backs him up.
