Even the BBC get it........Manchester United were awarded 22 penalties in all competitions this season, the most by a side in a single campaign within Europe's top five leagues since Barcelona were awarded 24 in 2015-16.

I just don't get it... they hardly spend any time in the opponents area when compared to City, yet they accumulate such a great number if penalties...? Penalty United are downright cheats.
 
On the subject of penalties 4 teams had more touches in the opposition box than United did. City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester. The rags were awarded 14 penalties in the league, we were awarded 11, Leicester and Chelsea got 7 each respectively.

The argument for the rags is they have pace out wide that can quickly force these mistakes. However if you go back to the stats City, Chelsea, Wolves and Spurs completed more dribbles than United did. Their highest ranked player for most dribbles Marcus Rashford came 22nd in the overall stats.

Something doesn’t add up here, we are being gaslighted by the Premier League and Pgmol. I would imagine it will get even worse next season, are they going to end up killing the golden goose what the premier league is just to protect Manchester United’s reckless financial decisions?
 
The rags play for pens you watch them pass the ball into the box and there is a runner he reaches the ball and a defender also going for it the rag diving cheat usually always if get to the ball first dives.

Thing is we could do the same the trick is runners in the box when the pass comes.

Quite, you can understand the barca side of a few years ago picking up a few, but not quite sure the current rag 11 are quite in the same ball park.
 
That kit is like one of those camouflage liverys on ships from the second world war ! Is that the plan? Nobody sees them until Bruno ferret face is screaming and pointing to the Bruno pin?

No point we'd only get booked for diving, even if it was a penalty.

With all the stats available in the modern age there must be some figure for the number of minutes or touches each team spends in an opponents box over the course of the season and how many penalties are awarded.

We must have had 2 or 3 times as many touches in the opposition box than the Rags but much fewer penalties.

I wonder what the ratio of pens awarded to the red shite is since Solskjaer took over. 100% a coached tactic to go down in the box for the slightest thing. So yes, a deliberate, cheating ploy to get penalties ably assisted by the authorities. Horrid twats.

I believe the raggies got 15 percent of all awarded penalties in the Premier league last season.

I recall at least one ex-player (can't remember who though) admitting that GPC used to tell them to go to ground at the slightest touch in the box.
