Alvaro Arbeloa has accused the referees of not wanting Manchester United to lose against Fulham because of the injustice Michael Carrick's side faced in the Manchester derby last weekend.
United rescued a 1-1 draw after Matheus Cunha scored a deflected 89th-minute equaliser - but Fulham head coach Arbeloa was furious that, 35 seconds before the goal, United were given a free-kick for a foul on Harry Maguire on the halfway line.
Arbeloa felt the free-kick for Cesar Palacios' foul on Maguire was soft and felt that referee Michael Oliver and his team of officials gave "all fouls" to United - because of the "error in judgement" by the officials who incorrectly awarded Erling Haaland's Manchester derby winner at Old Trafford last weekend.
"All fouls for them," Arbeloa told Sky Sports. "You can see before they scored, the foul against Maguire, he's a guy who is 100 kilos. Every decision was for them.
"And I knew. I knew after the game against Man City that they [would not] let Manchester United lose here. We deserved a little bit more.
"We were so close. So, so close. We were a little bit unlucky again. We knew it would be difficult against this big team.
"Also we knew what happened last week. We have seen what the referees have been doing in all the matches so it was a difficult game. And we we were unlucky."

Madrid’s weekly complains about referring is now a family syndrome 💁🏽♂️🤓
Manchester United had VAR guys suspended for the complaints against Manchester City. Tell me who doesn’t complain?

Arbeloa is Mourinho’s boy . They complain when things don’t go their way. His master is ranting in Spain because he lost a derby to Atletico Madrid. What a bunch of pathetic losers

You are even lucky to secure a draw because Man United scored themselves for you and were denied a clear penalty for the handball. You should have lost this game.
lol did you watch the game? Fulham were the better team for 75 mins until they decided to sit back after the goal

See who's spitting nonsense, the goal Fulham scored was a foul on Cuhna but they allowed the goal. Average Arbeola didn't see that, using last week's error as an excuse for his team's failure. If not for the own goal, Manchester United played better but you guys were lucky
