Italian newspapers describe the penalty kick awarded to Manchester United against Roma as ‘very soft’ and argue that Harry Maguire deserved a red card in the second half.

Roma suffered a 3-2 loss to Manchester United on Tuesday in the Champions League. Spanish referee Jesús Gil Manzano drew criticism from Italian media, mostly for two controversial second-half decisions.

Italian sports papers Corriere dello Sport, Tuttosport and Gazzetta dello Sport wrote that the penalty awarded to the Red Devils, converted by Bruno Fernandes, was ‘very soft.’
