Mikel Areta’s side earned a hard-fought 1-0 win at Old Trafford thanks to a set-piece goal from Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori.
Clattenburg has since pointed out that the Premier League is trying to clamp down on grappling during set pieces, something he believes was missed for Arsenal’s goal.
He told United in Focus: "In real time, I did not see any problem with Arsenal's goal. But when you watch it in slow motion, you can see Mason Mount was having his shirt pulled and Bayindir was being impeded while challenging for the ball.
“PGMOL said they would punish this type of challenge more, but again they failed."
Despite losing the game, Ruben Amorim’s side showed promise and will be hoping to get their season going in their next game against Fulham on Sunday (August 24).
