Man United’s penalty at Bournemouth labelled a ‘DISGRACEFUL DECISION’ by fans on social media – as they question ‘what’s the point of VAR’ after Cherries captain Adam Smith was penalised for handball

Youtube star and Plymouth supporter PieFace wrote on X: Disgraceful penalty decision that.

Another fan questioned the use of VAR, saying: ‘What’s the point of VAR, in what world is that a penalty #BOUMUN’. 

‘The only club that gets a penalty for that is Manchester United’, a third fan fumed. 

Bournemouth had raced into the lead through Dominic Solanke’s 17th goal of the season after 16 minutes. 

Fernandes then got Erik ten Hag’s men level just after the half-hour mark but the hosts responded by regaining the lead through Justin Kluivert five minutes later. 

Fernandes got his second of the match from the penalty spot to rescue United a point after another disappointing performance from the Red Devils. 

The result has seen United remain seventh after Newcastle overtook them earlier in the day after they thrashed Tottenham 4-0.
