Man Utd fans claim Jack Grealish should have been sent off for 'violent' moment in Man City defeat

Manchester United fans claim Jack Grealish should have been sent off for one 'violent' moment during their defeat to Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's side ran out dominant 3-0 winners at Old Trafford, thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden.

City's No. 9 opened the scoring from the penalty spot after a controversial VAR decision ruled that Rasmus Hojlund had fouled Rodri inside the 18-yard box.

Haaland then headed home a second shortly after the break, before setting up Foden to seal all three points in the Manchester derby.

But Red Devils fans reckon City should have been down to 10 men after Grealish lashed out at Sofyan Amrabat.

The United midfielder chased after Phil Foden after a coming together on the pitch, before Grealish arrived on the scene, angrily pushing Amrabat in the chest.

Talking to Twitter, United fans were left in disbelief that VAR didn't review the incident and that the Englishman wasn't booked.

"With the quality of referring going on how is that not a red for Grealish?" wrote one fan.

"Grealish hits Amrabat in the chest right IN FRONT of the referee, and NOTHING was given. Casemiro would’ve received jail time for this," another added.

"Grealish hits Amrabat in the chest in a violent way. No review PGMOL?" a third asked.

"Why is Grealish not getting any card for hitting Amrabat like that?" another tweet read.

Antony was also guilty of lashing out at Jeremy Doku, just minutes after coming off the bench.

The Brazilian kicked the City winger, before squaring up to him in a bizarre sequence of events.

He was brandished a yellow card, but Gary Neville suggested it could have been more on commentary.
