Gary Lineker has claimed that the handball rules are set to change in the near future after Manchester United were controversially awarded a penalty in their FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Referee Paul Tierney pointed to the spot after Jack Grealish was adjudged to have handled Aaron Wan Bissaka's cross, with United midfielder Bruno Fernandes eventually converting the spot kick. At half-time of the match, Lineker revealed that he had heard the handball laws will be simplified to a more common sense approach.
Speaking during the BBC's coverage of the match, the Tottenham Hotspur legend said: "I have it on very reliable information that the law will be simplified, the law on handball. They’re gonna (sic) have to almost go back to how it was - common sense.
