NEWCASTLE fans have been left fuming after seemingly being denied a "clear" penalty.
The Magpies started Sunday's Premier League fixture against Manchester United at Old Trafford on the front foot.
Striker Callum Wilson honed in on goal but Red Devils defender Raphael Varane stepped across him.
The Frenchman didn't get the ball and appeared to catch Wilson's knee.
Shouts for a penalty came from the away end to David de Gea's left but referee Craig Pawson waived the claims away.
And the decision has left fans all saying the same thing: Newcastle were denied a "clear" penalty.

One fan said on Twitter: "That looked 100% a penalty for Newcastle United there.
"Varane took down Wilson in the box, no appeal from Wilson, a confusing one that needs a replay."
Another said: "That was a clear penalty for Newcastle. They were robbed."
Fans are also questioning why VAR didn't intervene.
