According to the latest exclusive news from the British media Daily Mail, Premier League referees director Weber admitted to Manchester United that Collins defeated Mbemo in the last round of the Premier League.

In the 6th round of the Premier League, Brentford vs. Manchester United, in the 71st minute of the game, Mbermo was pulled down by Collins in the penalty area, and the referee was punished for a "yellow spot" package. The Premier League official explained that VAR also checked the referee's decision to show Collins a yellow card, and determined that Mbermo did not fully control the ball at that time.

B Fei lost the penalty kick, and Manchester United lost 1-3 away in the game.

It is reported that Manchester United contacted Weber, the head of the referee company, to ask why Collins was not sent off for destroying obvious goals. The initial official explanation from the Premier League was that Mbermo did not actually control the ball.

However, Manchester United CEO Berrada and director Wilcox asked for further explanation, and Weber admitted the misjudgment. It is understood that in order to reduce the impact of the incident on the team and Amorin, Manchester United chose not to make a public statement, but instead acted behind the scenes. The club also praised Weber's candidness and transparency in admitting misjudgment.
