Alvaro Arbeloa criticizes officiating after Manchester United’s match against Fulham, saying the referees “wouldn’t let” United lose. He argues that the decisions in the game are influenced by the wider context of United’s recent results.
Arbeloa links his comments to the aftermath of the Manchester derby last weekend, in which he says Michael Carrick’s team faced injustice. Across the coverage, the central claim is Arbeloa’s allegation that officials showed an apparent reluctance to let United be beaten, rather than a specific list of calls. The reports focus on the substance of his accusation and the derby incident as the motivation for his stance, without adding further independent detail about particular refereeing decisions in the Fulham match.
