The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

In the 85th minute of the game, at the Etihad Stadium, the fierce battle between Manchester United and Manchester City entered a white-hot stage, and the atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense. Manchester United's full-back Ashraf was dribbling forward, and Manchester City's striker Aguero rushed over to defend. At the moment when the two men came into physical contact, Aguero suddenly raised his elbow and hit Ashraf in the face. Ashraf fell to the ground in pain, covering his cheeks with both hands.

Manchester United's players angrily surrounded the referee, asking the referee to punish Aguero. However, the referee turned a blind eye and signaled that the game should continue. This penalty caused strong dissatisfaction among Manchester United players, and the gunpowder smell on the field instantly became strong.

Manchester City took the opportunity to launch an attack, and the ball was quickly passed to Gundogan's feet. Gundogan observed the situation in the front court and found Aguero with a precise through pass. The moment Aguero received the ball, it seemed that he was in a relatively obvious offside position, but the linesman did not raise the flag to indicate offside, and the referee did not make any penalty.

Aguero was stunned for a moment, and then he rushed to Manchester United's goal without hesitation. Facing De Gea, he calmly pushed the ball into the far corner and the ball went in! Manchester City tied the score at the last moment of the game, 1:1. Manchester City's players cheered, while Manchester United's players surrounded the referee to protest the goal.

Manchester United coach Mourinho roared angrily on the sidelines. He rushed to the fourth official and emotionally accused the referee of unfair judgment. "This is an obvious elbow! This is an obvious offside! Are you blind?" Mourinho's voice resounded throughout the stadium.

The fourth official tried to calm Mourinho down, but Mourinho couldn't suppress his anger at all. He kept waving his arms and protesting loudly against the referee's judgment.

"Such a wrong judgment will ruin a wonderful game! How can you be so derelict in your duty?" Mourinho's face flushed, and his eyes were full of anger.

The fourth official warned Mourinho many times, but Mourinho still couldn't calm his anger. Finally, the referee ran over and showed Mourinho a red card, sending him off the field.

Mourinho angrily threw the tactical board in his hand to the ground, then turned and walked towards the player tunnel. His back was full of helplessness and anger.

Manchester United's players saw the head coach being sent off, and their dissatisfaction intensified. They ran and fought harder on the field to try to save the situation. Manchester United fans on the sidelines also booed deafeningly, strongly protesting against the referee's decision. The whole stadium fell into chaos and anger.

The game continued, and although Manchester United's players were full of anger and unwillingness, they still did not give up. They launched a fierce attack in the last few minutes, trying to rewrite the score again.

Cavani received a pass from Pogba in the frontcourt and shot hard, but unfortunately the ball was saved by Manchester City's goalkeeper Ederson. In stoppage time, Rashford got a great chance in the penalty area, but his shot was slightly higher than the crossbar. The final whistle finally sounded, and Manchester City tied Manchester United 1:1 with this controversial goal.

Manchester United players walked off the field in frustration, they could not accept such a result. While celebrating, Manchester City players also knew that this draw was full of controversy.

This Manchester derby became a controversial and angry game because of the referee's two controversial penalties, which also cast a shadow on this originally wonderful match.

At the press conference after the game, head coach Mourinho was absent. Manchester United's assistant coach Scholes spoke on behalf of the team. He strongly condemned the referee's penalty and said that he would file a complaint with the Football Association.

However, at this time, the storm outside the stadium had quietly arrived. After the game, a large number of fans poured out of the Etihad Stadium like a tide. Manchester City and Manchester United fans still had the excitement and tension in the game on their faces, and their emotions were still high.

At first, it was just a verbal conflict between fans of both sides. Manchester City fans cheered for their team's last-minute equalizer, and their words were full of provocation towards Manchester United; Manchester United fans were upset about the controversial penalty in the game and angrily hit back at Manchester City fans.

As the crowd gathered, the atmosphere became more tense. I don't know who started it first. A Manchester United fan pushed a Manchester City fan. In an instant, the small-scale conflict quickly escalated into a large-scale riot.

Angry shouts and curses resounded through the streets. People waved scarves and flags in their hands and attacked each other. Bottles, cans and other debris flew in the air and hit the opponent's camp.

Street traffic was paralyzed, with car horns and fans' noises intertwined. The shop windows on the roadside were smashed to pieces and the goods were scattered all over the ground.

In the chaosIn the chaos, a young Manchester United fan was knocked to the ground. His companions struggled to help him up, their eyes full of anger and fear. On the other side, a Manchester City fan's jersey was torn and his face was bruised.

The entire Etihad Stadium was in chaos, as if it had turned into a battlefield. The enthusiasm that was originally gathered because of football, now broke out in a distorted way, bringing a disaster to the city.

The police quickly rushed to the scene and tried to maintain order, but the excited fans did not listen to the dissuasion at all.

On the streets outside the Etihad Stadium, anger and fanaticism erupted like a volcano. The red and blue crowds confronted each other, and the tense atmosphere seemed to be easily cut by a sharp blade.

The police, wearing riot gear and holding shields, formed a tight line of defense to try to stop the surging crowd. However, the emotionally out-of-control fans were like surging waves, hitting the police's defense line wave after wave.

Some radical fans, with red eyes, shouted fierce slogans, and rushed towards the police with fists. They pushed the shields in the hands of the police hard, trying to break through the line of defense. The police shouted in unison: "Back off! Keep calm!" But their voices were soon drowned out by the noise.

A sturdy Manchester United fan, with a red face and veins on his forehead, slammed into the shield, and the strong impact made the police in the front row step back a few steps. The Manchester City fans next to them were not to be outdone, throwing debris in their hands, bottles and stones like raindrops at the police.

The police tried to maintain their formation, and faced with the impact of the fans, they had to use batons to fight back. Every swing of the baton was accompanied by a stern warning: "Stop immediately! Otherwise, compulsory measures will be taken!" But this seemed to anger the fans even more.

A young policeman was pushed to the ground by the fans, and in an instant, he was drowned by the chaotic crowd. His companions were anxious and rushed forward to rescue, and started a fierce struggle with the crazy fans.

In the chaos, a female fan was squeezed to the ground and screamed, but the people around her had no time to care and continued to clash fiercely. The police had to deal with the fans' attacks and try their best to protect the people who fell to the ground, and the situation became increasingly difficult to control.

Suddenly, a pungent smoke filled the air. It turned out that the police used tear gas. The fans were choked and coughed continuously, their eyes were tearful, and they temporarily stopped the pace of the attack. But this was only a short pause. Soon, a new wave of fans rushed up, and the conflict continued. This originally peaceful street has become a chaotic battlefield.

It was not until a large number of reinforcements from various blocks arrived that the situation was gradually brought under control. But the scars left by the riots are deeply engraved in the memory of this city.

Manchester United Club was the first to issue a statement on social media, which read:

"Dear fans, we are deeply saddened and disappointed by the riots that occurred after the derby last night. Football is a passionate sport, but this passion should never be expressed in the form of violence and destruction. We understand everyone's concern about the results of the game and their love for the team, but the riots have seriously damaged the club's image and the spirit of football. We call on all Manchester United fans to remain calm and support the team in a peaceful, rational and respectful manner. Violence and conflict are never the way to solve problems. Let us work together to maintain the purity and beauty of football."

Manchester City Club also issued a statement on its social media afterwards:

"Manchester City Club strongly condemns the riots that occurred outside the stadium last night. Our fans have always been known for their enthusiasm and support, but such violence is by no means what we I hope to see. No matter what the result of the game is, it cannot be an excuse to disrupt social order and hurt others. We call on fans to return to reason and express their love for the team in a positive way. At the same time, we will work with the police to ensure that such incidents do not happen again and let football return to its essence of unity and joy. "

On the morning of the second day, Manchester United, which got the broadcast video of the game from familiar TV media, decided to write to the English Football Association and the Premier League Company respectively about the unfair refereeing in the game after an emergency discussion by the club's senior management;

In the letter to the English Football Association, Manchester United wrote in a strong tone:

"Dear English Football Association:

We, the Manchester United club, are extremely angry and disappointed with the series of unfair penalties we encountered in the game against Manchester City. In this world-renowned derby, the referee's many key penalties seriously affected the result and fairness of the game.

In the 85th minute, when our player Ashraf broke through with the ball, Aguero rushed over to defend. Just as the twoAt the moment of physical contact, Aguero raised his elbow without any sports ethics and hit Ashraf's face violently. Ashraf immediately fell to the ground in pain, covering his cheeks with both hands, but the referee turned a blind eye to this bad behavior and did not punish Aguero. This not only caused Ashraf to suffer physical injuries, but also blatantly condoned violence on the court.

In the 88th minute, Manchester City player Gundogan sent a straight pass, and Aguero's position was obviously one body beyond our last defensive player. Such a clear offside, the linesman did not raise the flag to signal, and the referee failed to make a correct judgment. Aguero took the ball and scored. This goal directly changed the situation of the game, and our original advantage collapsed instantly.

These wrong judgments not only seriously damaged the fairness of the game, but also ruthlessly trampled on the players' efforts to fight hard on the court, and deeply hurt the enthusiasm and expectations of the majority of Manchester United fans. We, Manchester United, have always upheld the principles of respecting rules and fair play, but this time the penalty error is unacceptable to us.

We strongly request the English Football Association to conduct a serious investigation and handling of the referee's penalty in this game and give us justice. At the same time, we call on the English Football Association to take measures to strengthen the training and management of referees and improve the supervision mechanism to ensure that future games can be held in a fair, equitable and transparent environment.

The letter, with Manchester United's anger and determination, was quickly sent to the English Football Association, waiting for the other party's response.

In the letter to the Premier League Company, the wording of Manchester United Club was relatively mild:

"Dear Premier League Company:

In the game between Manchester United and Manchester City that just ended, we encountered a series of unfair referee penalties that seriously affected the results and fairness of the game. We hereby write to your company to express our strong dissatisfaction and protest.

In the 85th minute of the game, Manchester City player Aguero made an obvious elbowing motion to our player Ashraf, which was a serious foul, but the referee did not make any penalty. This not only caused physical injuries to our players, but also undermined the principle of fair competition that the game should have.

More importantly, in the 88th minute, Manchester City player Aguero received a pass in an offside position and scored a goal. This obviously offside goal, the referee failed to make an accurate judgment, resulting in the score being tied. Such a wrong penalty directly affected the final result of the game and also made the efforts and expectations of our team and fans come to naught.

We understand that referees face great pressure and difficulties in making quick decisions in the game, but such an obvious and critical wrong penalty is unacceptable. Manchester United Club has always respected the rules of the Premier League and the authority of referees, but this penalty error seriously damaged the fairness and sportsmanship of the game.

We hope that the Premier League Company will pay attention to this incident, conduct a comprehensive and fair review of the referee's penalty in this game, and take appropriate measures to correct the error and maintain the fairness and authority of the league. At the same time, we also hope that your company can strengthen the training and supervision of referees to avoid similar unfair penalties in future games.

Thank you for the Premier League's attention and handling of this matter, and look forward to a fair and reasonable response.
