Manchester United want a meeting with referees' chief Howard Webb following a number of controversial decisions. The Red Devils believe they have been wronged on several major calls this season, according to Mail Online.
Angry Old Trafford officials are said to have grown 'increasingly frustrated' with the number of errors which have cost their side in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim is reported not to be involved in the move for crunch talks.
The club's bosses are noted to be increasingly frustrated at the persistent issues arising in their matches. And now they want an explanation from former ref Webb.
PGMOL are reported to have acknowledged that a number of incidents have been down to officiating errors. United believe former player Aaron Wan-Bissaka should have been shown a second yellow for a late sliding challenge on Patrick Dorgu, in their draw against West ham.
They were also stunned that Wolves star Emmanuel Agbadou's handball was not reviewed by VAR in their 4-1 win. United are said to feel that enough is enough.
Earlier this season, Webb admitted to Manchester United that they were the victims of an error in their defeat to Brentford. Amorim's side lost 3-1 in west London and they felt Nathan Collins should have been shown red.
Bruno Fernandes saw his penalty saved by Caoimhin Kelleher after Collins' foul on Bryan Mbeumo. The Bees defender was bailed out by his goalkeeper and got lucky twice as he escaped a red card for pulling back the United forward inside the area.
United felt aggrieved and wrote to the Professional Game Match Officials for an explanation. United chief executive Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox got a response from PGMO chief Webb, who accepted that Pawson and the VAR had made a mistake.
