Roy Keane was bemused that Manchester United were not awarded a penalty in the first half during their 2-0 victory against rivals City on Sunday.

Fred appeared to be fouled by Nicolas Otamendi in the penalty box and Mike Dean booked the United midfielder for diving.

VAR had a look at the incident but stayed with the on-field decision of no penalty despite Otamendi appearing to hack down Fred.
