"Manchester United" on Thursday in the second round of the UEFA Europa League group stage played a goalless draw with "AZ Alkmaar" players. "The Red Devils" did not strike into the goal area at all throughout the 90 minutes, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised the team's performance after the match and criticized referee Gediminas Mazeika from Lithuania, who did not dare to award a penalty kick when Marcus Rashford was brought down in the opponent's penalty area in the 80th minute. "Out of 100 cases, such a penalty kick would have been awarded 101 times. How many times this season have the referees not dared to award penalties towards our opponent's goal? In the match against "Arsenal" we could have led 2-0 because of this, while here the result would have been 1-0. It would have been a great reward for the team for a very good performance away against a strong opponent. We came here to win and we had to do it. From my position, it was quite difficult to see everything, but we asked Marcus himself, who confirmed that a penalty kick should have been awarded," - O. G. Solskjaer said to "BT Sport" after the match.
