Manchester United defender Harry Maguire feels there's too many soft penalties being given this season.
Maguire takes particular issue with the hand-ball decisions.
"For me, penalties in the last six months or a year or so, especially in the Premier League, all over the world really, the Champions League, they are given for anything," said Maguire. "They are so soft. They are making life so hard for defenders to defend the way it should be.
"You should be able to defend, you should be able to move your arm, you should be able to move your body, you should be able to make contact, you should be able to move your hands and get there.
"Nowadays, penalties are given for everything. Absolutely for everything. I understand it's an important part of the game - what should be a penalty, what shouldn't be a penalty - but there's far too many soft penalties given at the moment.
"I think the threshold of giving penalties definitely needs to change. And I think the Premier League, the biggest league in the world, needs to start it, need to come up with something, because I've seen some penalties in the Premier League since the start of this season which, for me, are just ridiculous.
"It's not just at my club, I see them given for handballs where I don't know where lads are supposed to put their arms. Minimal contact too, it's a contact sport.
"Starting with the biggest league in the world, which is the Premier League, they need to set the standard and the threshold needs to be a little bit higher than it is at the moment."
