Manchester United Manager José Mourinho Explains Why They Didn't Win Against Southampton

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, is pointing accusing fingers at the centre referee for side's barren draw with Southampton.

The former Chelsea boss has accused referee Craig Pawson for not awarding a penalty to his side, during their 0-0 draw with Southampton on Saturday.

Pawson decided not to give a spot kick, when the ball made contact with Saints defender Maya Yoshida’s hand.

Asked if the game had been frustrating for him, Mourinho replied: “Yeah, but I think also for Craig, because he’s a fantastic referee and one of the most promising young referees in Europe also. Also bad for him.”

He added on the BBC: “Of course we played enough to score goals, of course we missed easy chances, but I’m really unhappy with the penalty – not with Craig’s performance overall but with the penalty.”

Speaking later at his news conference, he added: “I watch on the touchline and for me it looked very clear, but 50 metres distance, so I give the referee the benefit of the doubt.

“I know my players, so when I see [Juan] Mata hysterical I could understand immediately, no doubt, and then at half-time I watch it and it is a penalty like Rashford’s at Leicester was a penalty, like [Ander] Herrera against [Manchester] City.

“It is unlucky, and I told that without any problem, the referees’ performances in these matches, [Michael] Oliver against City, [Jon] Moss against Leicester and Pawson today, were good performances, so unlucky decisions for us that punished us.”

Even Yoshida admitted he was fortunate not to concede a penalty.

“Sometimes we get decisions from the referee and sometimes we get bad luck from them. Today we got good luck,” he said.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
