Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey has branded the decision not to send off Brentford's Nathan Collins as "absolute nonsense" after his foul on Bryan Mbeumo during Manchester United's defeat on Saturday.

Ruben Amorim claimed after Manchester United's defeat at Brentford that he is never worried about losing his job and that is just as well because, sooner or later, he is going to get his marching orders at Old Trafford. The results speak for themselves. His team have lost 17 of their 33 Premier League matches while winning just nine times.
