Penalty and Maguire sent off. Was the referee right? Getty

In Matchday 31 of the English Premier League, Manchester United travelled away to face Bournemouth, and a controversial incident unfolded late in the match.

Details: In the 78th minute, the Cherries executed a sharp attacking move, releasing their player into open space. However, Harry Maguire pulled back his opponent and brought him down inside the penalty area.

The referee immediately showed Maguire a red card and awarded a penalty. After a VAR review, the decision stood unchanged.

Notably, during the first half, Bruno Fernandes, captain of the Red Devils, voiced his concerns to head coach Michael Carrick regarding his positioning.

Reminder: Manchester United have once again rejected an offer from Catalan giants FC Barcelona for the transfer of 28-year-old forward Marcus Rashford.
