Erik ten Hag bemoaned Manchester United's misfortune with penalty decisions after their 1-1 draw with Burnley but also criticised his team for throwing away yet another lead.
Antony's goal against the Clarets 11 minutes from time looked to have secured all three points, but Andre Onana recklessly gave away a penalty and Zeki Amdouni equalised after 86 minutes.
United have made a habit of throwing away leads this season and they have now done so five times in their last seven games in all competitions, including letting a 3-0 lead slip against Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final and losing against Chelsea in the Premier League when they led 3-2 after 98 minutes.

Pressed on why that kept happening, Ten Hag turned his ire on the match officials. He told broadcasters he felt his team should have had three penalties against Burnley and again questioned decisions that hadn't gone his way in recent games.
"A variation of reasons. This is very different to the ones before, it’s again a penalty, some penalties included, Chelsea, Liverpool, now again, it was a justified
