Manchester United came agonisingly close to a first derby win after the referee waved away Lucía García’s furious penalty appeals in the dying minutes when the Manchester City defender Alex Greenwood nudged the ball towards the goalkeeper, Ellie Roebuck, with her hand as she fell in the box.
“I honestly haven’t seen it, I hear everyone on the bench screaming,” United’s manager, Marc Skinner, said. “In all reality I probably want us to get ahead of that sooner anyway.”
