Manchester United captain Harry Maguire says the match officials were RIGHT not to award him a second-half penalty in victory at Everton.
Toffees' no.1 Jordan Pickford appeared to collide with our centre-back shortly after fumbling a Juan Mata free-kick.
Pickford's knee connected with Maguire's chest just before the ball went out of play, leading to calls for Michael Oliver, the Video Assistant Referee, to check the incident and retrospectively award a penalty.
Nothing was given, and the United skipper thought a spot-kick in favour of his team, who were leading 2-1 at the time, would have been a 'soft' decision.
“I just explained this in there, I personally don't think it was [a penalty]," said Maguire in his post-match interview.
"I think maybe I fouled Jordan first. I did put a hand into his chest when he went to catch the ball and I did feel contact on my knee.
“I felt like I probably pushed Jordan before and I know everyone's probably trying to jump on him dropping the ball but I did feel like I pushed him. I'd say [a penalty] would have been a little bit soft."
