The club and players didn't spend days after that claiming conspiracies, disclosing referee dialogues and managers feigning outrage.
Have Utd or theirs players spent days doing that or did they mention it straight after the game?
“After the game, Lampard said he didn't know why VAR wasn't consulted.
"Yeah, holding is allowed, but headlocks don't go on," he told BBC Match of the Day. "I don't know why VAR didn't take long and there's also a monitor to look at. I think if the referee goes to the monitor he gives a penalty.
"Lets see [how the season goes]. [The unpredictable start is] certainly an affect of teams that went into Europe [at the end of last season]. The lads got hardly any time off and we added new players. I don't like to make excuses, but it's true."
Azpilicueta agreed that the play should have been reviewed.
"I felt arms around my neck and shoulders. The referee can make the decision, the VAR is there [to help]. In any situation the referee takes the main decisions and the monitor is there for him to help. It was 50-50 so why not take 20 seconds to review it?" he said.”
In a different press conference, Lampard said:
"Without a doubt, I'm interested to see what everyone else says,” he said, following October’s draw. “I spoke to the lads about how many penalties they get here, over the last two seasons they're miles ahead in Europe.”
Before our FA Cup Semi Final:
“There is always a human element to VAR, still, and clearly they have to make a decision,” Lampard said. “The confusing thing about some of the recent ones, and the one on Thursday night, is that it’s a very, very clear and obvious decision that was wrong and didn’t get reviewed and changed. A few of those have happened and that is strange. I would like to think that with VAR you have to be level-headed. Some might go against you or not. But we seem to be in a period where, in terms of Manchester United, they’ve got a few in their favour.”
