During Manchester United’s victory over Real Sociedad, Patrick Dorgu oddly told the referee not to award the Red Devils a penalty.

United easily defeated the Spanish team on Thursday, winning 4-1 on the night and 5-2 overall to secure their places in the Europa League’s round of eight.

With four penalties awarded by French referee Benoit Bastien—three for United and one for the visitors—Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick, two of which came from the penalty spot.

After a quick VAR assessment revealed that Hamari Traore had made contact with the ball first, the decision to award a fourth penalty for a foul on Dorgu was overturned.

The first penalty decision was overturned by VAR when video replays revealed Dorgu informing Bastien that he didn’t believe Traore had fouled him.

The incident happened after the French official had already given out three penalties and a red card during a wild evening at Old Trafford.

After just ten minutes, Mikel Oyarzabal gave the visitors the lead for the evening, and six minutes later, Fernandes’ first goal from the penalty spot gave the Red Devils the lead again.

Before the match’s tone drastically shifted after the hour, the United captain then added a second penalty five minutes after the break.

The Sociedad defender was the last man and had been beaten for pace when Jon Aramburu shoved Dorgu, earning him a straight red card.

Before Diogo Dalot added more glitz to the scoreline with a curling strike in injury time, Fernandes finished clinically to clinch his hat-trick three minutes from time.

The Ligue 1 team crushed FCSB 4-0 on Thursday night to guarantee a decisive 7-1 triumph on aggregate, and as a reward, Ruben Amorim’s team was tied with French team Lyon in the Europa League quarterfinals.
