Fulham’s new manager Alvaro Arbeloa says the referees do not want Manchester United to lose after his side fail to secure a first Premier League win under his leadership. Fulham drop points at Craven Cottage, where they are pegged back late on by United to finish in a draw.
Arbeloa’s comments focus on his view that officiating decisions were not in Fulham’s favour. Both outlets report he publicly suggests there is a bias, saying referees “don’t like Man Utd to lose.” While the reporting centres on Arbeloa’s reaction to the match, it does not provide specific details of any particular decisions or incidents, so the exact basis for his claim is not established in the available accounts.
Overall, the common elements across sources are the match outcome, Fulham’s continued search for a first win under Arbeloa, and his complaint about officiating after United’s late equaliser.
