Ten Hag slams refereeing decision

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on ten Hag appearing to blame refereeing decisions for United's defeat against Arsenal.

The Red Devils were humbled 3-1 by the Gunners during their Premier League trip to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Dutch coach said Alejandro Garnacho's goal should have stood, despite replays showing he was fractionally offside.
