Jamie Carragher has insisted Manchester City’s penalty in the derby game on Sunday was harsh as ‘it looks a lot worse in slow motion’.<\/p>\n
Rasmus Hojlund was viewed to have brought down City midfielder Rodri with a tug just inside the area in the first half.<\/p>\n
Hojlund stuck out his left arm and pulled down the Spanish midfielder, with referee Paul Tierney pointing to the spot after a lengthy VAR review.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Erling Haaland cooly tucked away the penalty to put Pep Guardiola’s side in front in the derby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However Carragher has insisted these types of incidents happen to plenty of Premier League sides and United could feel slightly hard done by<\/p>\n

Speaking at half-time on Sky Sports, Carragher insisted: ‘I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s not a foul but this happens constantly, virtually in every game and you won\u2019t see penalties given for it so I feel a bit for Manchester United because every team could show an incident like this where they feel that they should have had a pen.’<\/p>\n
‘Yes, he\u2019s lost and he panics and the left arm comes out. Like everything, it looks a lot worse in slow motion. When you watch that in real time, as it happened.’<\/p>\n
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards concurred saying: ‘I agree, but it\u2019s just where was it going to end up? I think that was taken into consideration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘As he grabbed him back there he might have got a head on that. It\u2019s soft but it\u2019s the rules of the game. It\u2019s definitely there. It\u2019s a foul.’<\/p>\n
Also speaking on the incident at half-time was United legend Roy Keane who argued that Rodri had to go down in the area despite it being viewed as soft.<\/p>\n
Keane argued: ‘They\u2019ve got to make the most of their opportunities. I think Rodri has to go down for a penalty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019m not saying for players to cheat, but we see it all the time. If he actually falls into the goalkeeper, I think if he goes down there and kicks into the goalkeeper, I think that\u2019s a penalty. These are big moments.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Referee Paul Tierney was sent to watch a of the incident replay by the Video Assistant Referee\u00a0<\/p>\n
