Manchester United bosses want to meet manager Howard Webb but feel they have had enough after a number of key decisions have gone against them in the Premier League in recent months.
Manchester United want to speak to referee Howard Webb following a number of controversial calls. According to the Mail Online, the Red Devils believe they have been unfairly treated in several major matches this season.
Angry Old Trafford officials are said to be becoming “increasingly frustrated” by the number of mistakes that have cost the team in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim is reportedly not involved in the tense negotiations.
Club leaders are known to be increasingly frustrated by constant problems occurring during matches. And now they want an explanation from former referee Webb.
PGMOL reportedly admitted that many of the incidents were due to supervisory errors. United believe former player Aaron Wan-Bissaka should have been shown a second yellow for a late sliding challenge on Patrick Dawg in the draw with West Ham.
He was also surprised that Wolves star Emmanuel Agbadu’s handball in the 4-1 win was not reviewed by VAR. United are said to feel they have had enough.

Earlier this season, Webb admitted to Manchester United that they had made a mistake in the defeat to Brentford. Amorim’s side lost 3-1 in west London and Nathan Collins felt he should have been given a red.
Bruno Fernandes had a penalty saved by Caoihin Kelleher after Collins fouled Brian Mbeumo. The Bees defender was twice lucky to avoid a red card as he was bailed out by the goalkeeper and pulled United’s line back inside the area.
United were outraged and wrote to professional game match officials demanding an explanation. United chief executive Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox received a response from PGMO chief Webb, who admitted Craig Pawson and VAR had made a mistake.
United’s negotiating plans were announced after Premier League leaders met with PGMOL chiefs and called for changes to VAR. Richard Bevan, chief executive of the League Managers’ Association, says they want to play at the top level with a new staff structure.
The LMA has called on referees to be paired with specific video assistants so they can form better partnerships. They believe the result will be a more consistent officiating.
