The Red Devils lost 2-1 at the London Stadium, with Jarrod Bowen's penalty being the decisive moment.

Manchester United fans were left fuming after a controversial penalty decision in the dying minutes of their Premier League clash against West Ham United meant the Red Devils surrendered all three points.

The Red Devils suffered a 2-1 defeat at the London Stadium, with Jarrod Bowen's spot-kick proving to be the decisive moment of the match.

The penalty was awarded after a challenge between Matthijs de Ligt and Danny Ings inside the box. Replays suggested that Ings's movement into the Dutchman caused the contact, leading many to question the referee's decision.

United fans took to social media to express their frustration, with many accusing the officials of making a poor decision. Some even went as far as labelling the referee and VAR official "corrupt."

Here are some of the reactions from social media:

The controversial penalty overshadowed a frustrating performance from United, who missed several opportunities to score. Diogo Dalot's glaring miss in the first half was particularly costly.

The defeat leaves United in 14th place on the Premier League table, with just three wins from their opening nine games.

Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on manager Erik ten Hag, who has now seen his side win just one of their last eight matches across all competitions.

As the club continues to struggle, fans are growing increasingly impatient and demanding better results. The controversial penalty decision has only added to the frustration and disappointment among the United faithful.
