Gary Lineker agrees with Manchester United pundits on controversial Fulham moment
25.02.2024 - 08:45 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Match of the Day host Gary Lineker has agreed with pundits Ian Wright and Micah Richards after Harry Maguire was not sent off in the defeat to Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds went into the game on the back of four straight Premier League victories but were missing two key players in the form of Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund, who picked up injuries this week. Unfortunately for United, their standard of play was not up to the same levels as we have seen in recent weeks as Marco Silva's men made things difficult.
Calvin Bassey gave the visitors the lead on 65 minutes before Maguire looked to have rescued a point for his team in the last minute of stoppage time. However, Alex Iwobi's late strike won the game for the London club as Erik ten Hag's unbeaten start to 2024 was ended.

One of the main talking points after the game surrounded whether or not Maguire should have been on the pitch to score his equaliser. In the first half, the England international lunged into a challenge catching Sasa Lukic and leaving him in a heap.
Referee Michael Oliver chose to book the defender but some argued he should have been sent off. However, in the BBC studio, the panel agreed the match official got the call right.
Richards began: "We have looked at it many times before. He takes a bad touch and for me, I think this is a yellow card.
"I would say this is reckless, not dangerous and that's the guidance we have been given. It is also a little bit low, it is not high."
Wright then interjected: "It is where the ball might be. You can think to yourself: 'Should he have even gone?' But it is not intending to hurt, it is a yellow card."
