Scotland’s Scott McTominay is calling for football to return to its roots after decisions went against him on Manchester United duty.
McTominay and his side went down 3-1 to PSG on Wednesday, a Neymar-inspired performance handing Manchester United an Old Trafford defeat.
It was a game dominated by refereeing decisions, Fred sent off and one of PSG’s goals also looking offside. Referee Daniele Orsato and the PSG players were in the firing line of Scotland’s centre-back.
“The reaction of their players is [shakes head]… ” said McTominay. “I’ve got nothing to say about that, you get in trouble if you start speaking about that and the referee.
“I said at half-time if we don’t get anything from this game then we should be coming in disappointed and angry with each other. It’s a tough pill to swallow when you see how the game pans out, it was a sloppy goal to concede [to Neymar early on] then the way we played after that was brilliant, the way we approached the game was total focus.
“I’m hearing their goal was partly offside as well. For us where is the balance in the game with how the referee has approached decisions?
“We’re seeing mistakes week in, week out, for us it has to be rectified, get football back to the way it was.”
