Man United handed new West Ham penalty verdict as Howard Webb stance emerges after Erik ten Hag sack
manchestereveningnews.co.ukProfessional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) chief Howard Webb believes that West Ham should not have been awarded a controversial late penalty that ultimately led to the sacking of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, according to reports.
The Times report that Webb, who oversees the refereeing in the English game, believes that an error was made in VAR intervening to award a penalty to the Hammers against United.
