Manchester United fans vented their fury on social media after Amad Diallo appeared to be fouled in the penalty area during the Red Devils’ Europa League clash with PAOK.
Diallo was a bright spark for the visitors throughout the first half and thought he had given his side the perfect opportunity to score from the spot when he was forced to the floor by Baba Rahman inside the penalty area.
Yet, despite United’s appeals for a penalty, the referee waved play to continue — prompting uproar among Red Devils’ fans who swiftly took to social media to complain about the decision.
One furious fan posted on X: ‘HOW IS THIS NOT A PENALTY ON AMAD?’
Another added: ‘Even UEFA is against Manchester United How’s this not a penalty for Amad Diallo?’

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes appeared to sympathise with Diallo at half time, admitting that he had regularly seen those sorts of challenges given.Â
He said: ‘I think there’s a chance, you can see why it could be given. It looks like there’s contact there and if they went to VAR, I think there’s a good chance it’s given.’
TNT Sports host Jules Breach then clarified that the incident had been checked by VAR but that officials chose to stand by the original on-field decision.
