Bruno Guimaraes sent a cheeky tweet after Newcastle were denied a penalty during their Premier League trip to Manchester United on Wednesday night.

Anthony Gordon's sock was left torn after Sofyan Amrabat’s first-half challenge in the penalty area, but there was no VAR check at Old Trafford.

One Newcastle fan tweeted pictures of the incident, with the caption: '"Aye, didn't touch him ref"'.

Bruno Guimaraes shared that post with emojis of a face peeking out from behind hands, and a zipper-face.

Gordon was furious with those in Stockley Park following his side’s 3-2 defeat, telling Sky Sports: ‘It’s a clear, clear and obvious mistake, I don’t know how you can get it wrong.

‘So either get rid of it or get better. It’s very simple.

‘I don’t mind the referee getting it wrong on the pitch because things happen really quickly.

'But I don’t understand what the point of VAR is, because it’s there to correct mistakes. He goes down my Achilles and pushes me in the back. I just honestly don’t see the point in it.’

Newcastle fans on X (formerly Twitter) also added to calls for VAR to be scrapped, with Premier League clubs set to hold a vote on the matter following a proposal by Wolves.
