Man United fans claim they 'don't understand what is a penalty anymore' as Bayern Munich are awarded a spot-kick after Christian Eriksen is harshly penalised for handball

Manchester United fans have slammed the decision to award Bayern Munich a penalty during their Champions League tie after Christian Eriksen was penalised for handball.

Bayern Munich appealed for a spot kick after Dayot Upamecano's header from a corner struck the arm of the Danish midfielder.

Swedish referee Glenn Nyberg initially opted against awarding a penalty to the German champions, who were leading 2-1 after goals from Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry.

The official changed his decision following a VAR review, with Harry Kane putting Bayern 3-1 up by converting the penalty in the group stage clash.
