The Manchester United manager claims that Wayne Rooney should have been awarded a penalty in yesterday’s game with Tottenham, after Spurs fought their way back to secure a 1-1 draw late in injury time.

“We have got that history with him. He never gave offside with (http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 striker Didier) Drogba at Old Trafford when he was three yards offside. Everyone remembers that, I certainly do. For me it was a poor performance from him, why he never gave a penalty
I don’t know. I think he had a shocking game today, he’s had a bad game and we never got anything from that side of the pitch,” the veteran manager was quoted as saying while speaking to the media.
