stop torturing yourself shami, that's never getting given. maybe further up the pitch it's a free. but we were never going to get a penalty kick for that (i think it was in the penalty area iirc)

I suggest you watch it back again, without the Utd tinted glasses on.
Gabriel throws his arm across loosely (not grabbing him at all at that stage), Hojlund grabs his arm, pulls him toward him (this very clearly visible in the video) and as he does so Gabriel grabs Hojlund.
If Gabriel was cleverer, rather than grabbing Hojlund he'd have been better off just falling down as his arm got tugged.

Putting your body in front is fine, grabbing an attacker and hauling them back to stop them getting past you is not. I can't believe people think this is a fine and legal challenge now.
Gabriel throws arm across the front of Hojlund:
Hojlund grabs Gabriels arm:
Hojlund tugs his arm across:
Gabriel should probably just elect to fall over here rather than risk anything else:
Gabriel grabs Hojlund and Hojlund starts to fall:
No way is that 'stonewall' in Hojlunds favour.

When you look at the front on video it shows that Gabriel is actually pulled down by Hojlund
Caporegime
Yep Gabriel pulled down by Hojlund, that is why Hojlund is on the floor while Gabriel is still on his feet. Then he trips over the guy he just hauled down.
Caporegime
Skill issue tbh, should have worked on his balance like the Brazilian dancers.

I think they (man u fans) are so used to getting extremely soft or dubious decisions given as pens that the moment a normal challenge happens in the box and they dont get it then they start with the accusations of bias etc. Arms across body of either the attacker or defender is part and parcel of passages of play across the whole pitch, to try and make something extra of it just smacks of desperation. The Havertz dive was more of a penalty shout than the hojlund 'foul'.
Agreed, it doesn't matter now. There is no bias either way with these decisions, the refereeing standard is just very hit and miss.

At no point have I mentioned bias (in fact that is something other people have mentioned several times) I'm merely highlighting the inconsistency and **** ups on a weekly basis.
Dale Johnson's weekly review of decisions/VAR:

You may not agree with him but he's a qualified ref and spends 90% of his time looking at decisions and providing reasoned analysis based on the laws of the game.
The VAR Review: Havertz penalty cancelled, Ten Hag rant, Akanji offside
In this week's VAR Review: Should Arsenal's penalty against Man United have been cancelled? And did Erik ten Hag really have any grounds for his complaints? Plus, how the VAR got it very wrong at Man City.

This.
For some reason I've just imagined you as the Wealdstone raider.
Gabriel stuck his arm out first Holland was simply trying to get past but was reverse clotheslined by Gabriel.Gabriel throws arm across the front of Hojlund:
