Manchester United manager David Moyes claims the team were unfairly treated by referees after loosing 2-1 to Sunderland in their third consecutive defeat.
Manchester United manager David Moyes claimed that his side were being unfairly treated by referees after they lost 2-1 to Sunderland in their League Cup semi-final first leg.
A second-half penalty from on-loan Liverpool forward Fabio Borini gave the home side a 2-1 victory at the Stadium of Light and condemned United to three consecutive defeats for the first time in 13 years.
The Scot questioned referee Andre Marriner decision to award a free kick against Jonny Evans in the build-up to Sunderland's opener, which saw Ryan Giggs turn the ball into his own net in first-half stoppage time.
"We defended a terrible free kick, but how the referee has given a free kick for that is way beyond me," Moyes said.
"I just cannot see how that is a free kick."
Responding to questions about criticism of his current record as the new Manchester United manager Moyes said, "Of course, if you are going to be in this job then that what happens.
"You have got to win and the last few games we have not won and we are going through a difficult time. It is part of football management and it is never going to be an easy ride."
