Fulham head coach, Alvaro Arbeloa, has claimed that the referees did not want Manchester United to lose against them, because of the injustice they faced in the Manchester derby last weekend.
United played out a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage on Sunday, after Matheus Cunha scored a deflected 89th-minute equaliser.
Arbeloa was left fuming after United were awarded a free-kick for a foul on Harry Maguire 35 seconds before the goal.
He insisted that the free-kick for Cesar Palacios’ foul on Maguire was soft and claimed referee Michael Oliver and his team of officials gave “all fouls” to United – because of the “error in judgement” by the officials, who incorrectly awarded Erling Haaland’s Manchester derby winner at Old Trafford last weekend.

“All fouls for them,” Arbeloa told Sky Sports.
“You can see before they scored, the foul against Maguire, he’s a guy who is 100 kilos. Every decision was for them.
“And I knew. I knew after the game against Man City that they [would not] let Manchester United lose here. We deserved a little bit more.”
