LAMPARD IS MR ANGRY

ALL SMILES: Kante and Atkinson see it at the time from where I was stood. It was a hard call for the referee. But why didn’t the VAR bring it to his attention?

“VAR was much too quick to move on. If the referee sees it, then he gives a penalty.

“The frustratin­g thing is that referees had been using the monitors this season.

“That’s how it should be because it is up to the person on the pitch to take responsibi­lity. For some reason they have stopped doing it, and I can’t understand why.

“I don’t think the referee could see the headlock. So he should have been given the chance to review it.

“If he sees it on the monitor then he gives a penalty.”

United have failed to win any of their opening three home games for the first time since 1972.

It was a game of few chances, but Marcus Rashford was denied twice by flying saves from Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt his team did enough to take the points.

The Norwegian said: “The boys started a bit slowly, but after the first 20 minutes we were the only team that was going to win it.

“It was two good teams out there and there weren’t too many chances. But their keeper has made two good saves from Marcus, and overall I’m happy with the players.”
