Man Utd great Schmeichel: Aston Villa right to be upset

Manchester United great Peter Schmeichel says Aston Villa are right to feel aggrieved after defeat last night.

Schmeichel slammed the decision for United's opening penalty won by Bruno Fernandes. Match official Moss initially pointed to the spot before showing doubts over the call, leading to a review with VAR.

However, having watched the replays, Moss controversially stuck with decision and awarded the penalty to the visitors, which Fernandes dispatched to give United the lead.

United legend Schmeichel was upset with the decision, claiming that Villa were completely hard done by.

The iconic goalkeeper tweeted: "I am sorry, but that was not a penalty. VAR continues to be a joke (angry emoji)."
