His hand is up. “At first, I thought he might be in trouble,” Sky Sports announcer Gary Neville said during the game. “I saw it happen. When your hand goes up, we’ll see.”
“You are asking for a lot of trouble when your arm is up like that in the box.” Why does he have his hand there? He has no business having his hand there.
The bad thing that happened with De Ligt won’t take away from the fact that United under Ruben Amorim had a good game. Red Devils were much better organized and confident when they had the ball. Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo, two midfielders, did a great job going up against Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, and Ryan Gravenberch.
United had a rough start to Amorim’s reign, but captain Bruno Fernandes had one of his best games of the season, which suggests that better times are on the way. With the surprise point, United moved ahead of West Ham and into 13th place. They are still a long way from qualifying for Europe, both in terms of points and spot.
