Manchester United fans are all making the same point after the controversial penalty decision given against them in the last minute of the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry.

The Red Devils were 3-0 up and cruising courtesy of goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes.

But then they completely capitulated, with Ellis Simms pulling one back and Callum O'Hare's deflected strike making it a very interesting finale at Wembley.

The Championship side threw everything they had and in stoppage time, Rob Jones awarded them a penalty after Aaron Wan-Bissaka handled the ball in the area.

With VAR sticking with the on-field decision, Haji Wright stepped up and equalised to send the travelling Coventry fans into pandemonium and force extra time.

But many felt as though the decision was a harsh one given a day prior Jack Grealish got away with what looked like a much clearer handball at the same ground in Manchester City's win over Chelsea.

One wrote: "Got to feel for Wan-Bissaka. Grealish handball yesterday was not overturned, the trailing arm of AWB is punished."

Another commented: "If they give that as a penalty I can’t even because that’s exactly the same as the Grealish handball."

A third fumed: "That handball is in no way any different to the grealish handball yesterday, most inconsistent refereeing."

A fourth added: "How was that Wan-Bissaka handball given but the Grealish one wasn't? Grealish even moved his arm *towards* the ball to stop it going on goal."

A final user summarised: "If someone could explain the difference between that handball and Grealish’s yesterday that would be great."
