Paul Scholes da verdict on the 'strange' penalty decision against Bruno Fernandes as the United man is in a draw in the true society

The Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes, admitted that he understands why Bruno Fernandes was penalized by handball by VAR in the incident that led to the controversial penalty of the true society in his raffle against the Red Devils.

United was denied a victory in the first leg on a difficult night at Reale Arena after Mikel Oyarzabal canceled the first 57 -minute game of Joshua Zirkzee.

The hosts had the opportunity to level the procedures at 20 minutes when the officer of Var Pol Van Boekel saw that Fernandes had handled the ball with his left arm in the penalty area.

Ivan Kruzliak's Slovak referee was advised to go to the field side monitor to take a look at the incident, before pointing to the place.

Captain Oyarzabal approached the place and did not be mistaken, sending Andre Onana in the wrong way after a severely united pressure period.

The penalty incident had caused an uproar among United fans on social networks, and the former United midfielder has described all the debacle as “strange.”

Paul Scholes believes that the incident was “strange”, but he understands why the penalty was given

“I didn't know why the game had stopped, I think it's the handball,” Scholed told TNT Sports. “It is not a position in which you expect Fernandes, sometimes, when you put your hand, you are afraid to get a blow to the head.”

Fernandes' infriction went unnoticed by Kruzliak and apparently by the players of society, and very few of them asked for a penalty.

However, Van Boekel advised the referee to take a look at the incident, to amaze many in the stadium, including Scholes.

“I really didn't see anything at that time, but looking back is a penalty,” continued the 50 -year -old. 'I don't think any of us have seen it. I wondered why they stopped the game, but they returned to him and it was a penalty.

'A little surprised that Bruno (Fernandes) is in that position, does not seem like someone dominant to direct the ball and retires. It would be the same in that situation and you can understand why they gave it.

United was controlling the procedures before society received a route back to the game, and even the draw.

Zirkzee gave them the lead with a low impulse in the middle of the network after brilliant work from Alejandro Garnacho on the left side to design the opportunity.

It was only the second goal of the Dutchman in 17 games, and arrived after the final penalty was lost in the defeat of the fifth round of United Fa Cup against Fulham, but gave United the impetus to advance.

It was the tenth goal of the Captain of the Society for the Club in all competitions during this campaign.

Garnacho continued causing problems for the background of the company and approached when he hit the side on the side only six minutes after the starter.

However, the hosts would match and United's possibilities would begin to dry as the impulse was changed. Fortunately for visitors, they would cling to a valuable raffle.

“Until the penalty that we had control and changed the impulse,” said United Ruben Amorim to TNT Sports. 'In the last 30 minutes, we were really tired and in Old Trafford, it will be different, the pressure will be in us.

'The impulse changed but it was clearly fatigue. We arrived late to the balls and were stronger in the last 30 minutes.

'Until the penalty we had good possession. We could leave the ball behind, our decisions are sometimes not the best, but we have good times.
