'First Casemiro now this' - Manchester United fans fume at referee Anthony Taylor vs Southampton

Manchester United fans have vented their frustrations following some of the decisions Anthony Taylor made during the first half of their clash with Southampton.

The two teams headed into the interval on level terms, however, that was less than half of the story in a frantic first 45 minutes at Old Trafford.

Just after the half-hour mark, Taylor made his first decision which angered the United supporters. After a challenge by Casemiro was initially given as a free-kick, VAR instructed the referee to review the challenge and Taylor deemed that the Brazilian midfielder had gone in too high and sent him off.

If United supporters felt that they were not having the rub of the green at that stage, they were about to feel even more aggrieved.
