However, after an on-field review following VAR intervention, the Everton penalty decision was controversially overturned.

Hackett exclusively told that he believed Everton should have been awarded a penalty, with the original on-field decision being correct.

Hackett told , "When Andy Madley pointed to the penalty mark, he had made the right decision.

"[The] problem was he was then surrounded by a minimum of three Manchester United players protesting, that triggers off a special incident report by the referee post-match which should lead to a sanction on Manchester United.

"The penalty kick decision was the right one and it is difficult to understand why Matt Donohue, in VAR, asked Andy Madley to go to the screen to review the incident.

"The critical point here was that Madley was not shown all the appropriate angles and made his decision on one view, the wrong decision to reverse his decision.

"What a pity, because Andy Madley has made good progress in the league, season to date.

"This is what he does not want to happen in the games he is officiating."

The penalty decision was one that had everyone talking, with boxing legend Tony Bellew calling Madley a "cheat" for overturning his original decision.

Young weighed in on the situation after the match, referencing Jose Mourinho's infamous: "I prefer not to speak, if I speak I am in big trouble" quote.

United legend David de Gea even liked Young's post to showcase his support for the Everton star.
