Chief referee Hooper, as well as VAR referees Salisbury and West, did not receive appointments for the next round after a blunder with an unassigned penalty against the Red Devils
Chief Arbiter Simon Hooperas well as VAR judges Michael Salesbury And Richard Westwho worked on the match of the first round of the championship of England between Manchester United And Wolverhamptondid not receive appointments for the next game day.
This fact can be considered an admission of a frank mistake by the referee team, which at the end of the said meeting did not assign a penalty to the hosts’ goal, thereby depriving the Wolves of the opportunity to recoup. The match ended with the score 1:0, the only goal scored by Raphael Varane.
PGMOL, the body responsible for appointing officials to professional matches in England, has already issued a formal apology for the mistake that likely cost Wolverhampton their points at Old Trafford.
At the end of the meeting with the score 1:0, newcomer Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana collided with two opponents in the penalty area after he missed the ball. According to experts, this episode should have been interpreted as deserving of a penalty.
In the next round of the Premier League, Manchester United will play against Tottenham Hotspur, while Wolverhampton Wolves will face Brighton.
