If it’s a genuine attempt at the ball that makes it worse and it isn’t a bleeding “coming together”.
So stupid, idiots tie themselves up in knots.

Just last year Højlund was deemed to foul Rodri(?) in the box. Obviously that sort of contact wasn't a penalty for the rest of the season.
Part of his recent improvement is understanding how strong he actually is. He is actually starting to use his body and power, he still has a long long way to go, but he clearly is very talented and has the potential to be a leading striker in the PL.
Don’t think that’s new though. He fed both Garna and Bruno with nice passes last season. Unfortunately, they didn’t score
He will come good. Loved that fire and fight he brought up. Long may it continue.
Great pass

It’s why refs are shit. Follow the rules, and stop making shit up. Nobody wants to watch a bunch of wankers spoil the game with inconsistent calls.
What which game has to do with the decision! Rule is rule. So they bend the rule for certain matches!!
Feels like he's just needed the right guidance on how to best use his attributes and hasn't really been getting it till recently.
We should all know by now that referees apply different thresholds for different games, bigger games usually require a more lenient approach in terms of fouls, penalties, red cards etc. It just comes with the same inconsistent approach. The Dias tackle on Hojlund is a penalty, but
they could also have given a penalty against Hojlund in the first half, but didn't.
Did decent yesterday. Should have had an assist for Bruno and won a penalty that we where robbed of.
Was better than Haaland yesterday

His wrestle with Haaland? If that’s what you’re referring too it doesn’t compare at all with the Dias incident
Yeah. It doesn't compare, but it's more of a penalty than the one Rodri got a year or so ago. On another day another ref/VAR (Oliver) might give that.
True. I liked it! Always enjoy an infight between vikings
Apparently Hojlund dived according to our resident expert
It was a dive, to be fair. The very last bit before he goes to ground is a textbook dive.
Still a definite penalty though. Hojlund obviously not yet as skilled as the Kanes/Sakas of the world when it comes to convincing referees they've been fouled.
Agree with this. Didn’t think the one last year was a penalty (based on usual standards) but felt he was a bit lucky to get away with yesterday’s, with the ref looking right at it.
Gallagher is an absolute gobshite.
For me a dive is when you throw yourself without being touched or only a little. If this is a pen, and I agree it is, it can’t be a dive imo. Hojlund has learnt from last season that he needs to go down if he wants any chance of a penalty - should’ve have had a couple when he stayed on his legs. But it seems not to fall naturally to him which is sympathetic.
Dermot can barely defend it. He knows it's a penalty but can't go against the referees. Which makes his whole stint on TV pretty fecking pointless.
I love the absolute shock of the presenter though.
I can disregard his performance for that insta post, and the fact that he didn't chicken out and delete 
Why would you disregard the performance? Was good.I can disregard his performance for that insta post, and the fact that he didn't chicken out and delete
The insta post better.
Love how he takes no rubbish from anyone. The last couple of games we’ve seen a different side to him. Amorims developing him nicely. His link up and control as improved massively
Indeed, last season it felt like he was creating good chances for our other attackers more than they were creating for him.
I think it's more of a modern and VAR penalty, than in older times, still could be easily called.
At first in real time I thought it wasn't, later I would have given it.
The real bad part, it's for VAR that normally calls the refs for the slightest thing, that can nulify a goal for a little foul in a prior play one minute before, would not call the Ref for this play.
If they did that, the ref more than probably would have call it.
PD: Rasmus made a meal of it, but without the talent to do it, that late dive created the sensation from the Refs angle that he was going for the foul. He needs more lessons

Piss poor tonight, as is par for the course against half decent opposition
Usual rasmus performance. Just not up to it
He needs binning. Admit we made another expensive mistake and rectify it quickly rather than arroganty persist
He was ok against two championship sides and everybody got carried away.
Just remember this time last week how posters were getting ahead of themselves after we beat Viktoria fecking Plzen.
This guy is bang average.

Poor today. The better version of this team needs a CF that does so much more. Think Isak. Hojlund has a very narrow skillset that’s still Work in Progress. He’s also very inconsistent at what’s he’s good at.
Aye! If we got a decent offer for him in Jan or in the summer I wouldn't be averse to selling. We can't be having an apprentice leading the line for man utd.
He might become a player but not sure it will be with us, still young though of course
He cant hold up the ball. Be strong, dont just fall on the floor looking for fouls.
What is he good at?
Looked very clumsy up top, the ball got tangled under his feet way too often. I was encouraged by his performance against City, but here he resorts to default settings and looks like a clumsy worse version of Lukaku without the strength and hold up ability.
Very concerning that he seems to only look like a genuine threat when against lesser opposition

Agree. Scored two against a team from feck knows where, and the Caf think we have a future Balón de Oro winner.
Accept the loss and sell in the summer for 20m.
Scoring goals in the EL against poor EL teams. Obviously not United standard.
