Warnock disputes United penalty

Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock will be beating a path to the door of referees’ chief Keith Hackett over the penalty that never was at Old Trafford last night as his side lost 2-0 to Manchester United.

Television replays showed home defender Gabriel Heinze got nowhere near the ball when he launched into a second-half tackle on speedy Blades striker Luton Shelton, yet referee Rob Styles waved away the visitors’ spot-kick claims.
