Replays revealed it struck the top of the centre-back’s arm but referee Anthony Taylor waved play on.
No penalty was awarded even after a VAR check – leaving United fans fuming online.
One said: “Hi @Specsavers, think we might have a new client for you, goes by the name of Anthony Taylor.”
Another added: “If this was our player handling the ball in the box Anthony Taylor would have pointed to the spot without hesitation.”
One posted: “How is that not a penalty to Manchester United? We’ve conceded penalties for FAR LESS this season.
“It’s a clear handball that’s prevented Weghorst from having a chance to score. Yet no intervention from VAR. NONSENSE!”
Another said: “What’s a handball nowadays?”
