Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer cannot believe referee Anthony Taylor booked Daniel James for diving against Leeds United.

James put in a fantastic display and scored a goal during a 6-2 United romp at home on Sunday.

The Welsh winger showed why the manager had faith in him, as he got his first start in the Premier League in nearly two months.

But James was booked by Taylor for diving at one stage after going down in the box following an excellent run on the counter attack.

Solskjaer felt there was contact from the defender and James should have won a penalty.

"For me it's either a penalty or a free-kick for Dan and he gets a yellow card for diving - that's shocking refereeing," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
