... Kevin Nolan believes officials still give the Mancs presents.

He accused linesman Andrew Garratt of taking a guess on the decision that prevented West Ham from taking a valuable point at Manchester United on Saturday.

Nolan thought he had grabbed a 2-2 draw for West Ham when he tapped in Carl Jenkinson's cross in the final minute at Old Trafford, but Garratt flagged for offside and referee Lee Mason disallowed the goal.

Hammers boss Sam Allardyce was fuming at the officials over the decision after the 2-1 defeat and his captain was also unhappy with the call, which came at the end of a dramatic match in which Wayne Rooney was sent off.

Kevin Nolan: "I couldn't believe it.

"I put the ball in, started celebrating and then I saw the flag.

"I know he has definitely gambled on it because he can't have seen it, because if he had seen it he wouldn't have given it offside."
