The 26-year-old fell in the box after a challenge from Jeff Hendrick with just four minutes remaining in the match, with Dyche's men looking like they might stun the Old Trafford crowd at 2-0 up.

However, Paul Pogba dispatched the spot-kick before United scored through Victor Lindelof to earn a 2-2 draw, which ended interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s run of eight straight wins.

"I just don't like it when there's a touch on the shoulder and their legs don't work, but it's modern football.

I'm not saying he does it all the time. But they're strong these lads and how come their legs don't work I don't know.

The Burnley boss also thought Lindelof was offside before he drew the home team level, and was unhappy referee Jon Moss added as much as five minutes of injury time.

Dyche even said it reminded him of "Fergie time" – when former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson supposedly influenced referees to extend tight matches so his team could score.

"I've no clue where five minutes came from," added the Burnley boss. "I asked the officials, but it came from somewhere.

"We just said (to the fourth official) there were no physios on the pitch. It's impossible it could be longer than three. Every minute counts. You just want a reason and there wasn't a reason.

"It's more the mentality it brings. Everyone believes when it's five minutes. "Fergie time" as they used to call it. You could sense it. Everyone rises. I just don't know where it came from."
