Super Eagles star Bright Osayi-Samuel has been criticized by former Fulham manager René Meulensteen for his false penalty claim in Fenerbahce’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United in Thursday’s Europa League.
The Nigerian international, who was issued a yellow card before being substituted later in the game, was accused of attempting to fool the center referee, Clement Turpin, after he was challenged by Man United defender Manuel Ugarte.

Reacting to the incident, Meulensteen, in his commentary with BBC Radio 5 Live, condemned Osayi-Samuel’s tactics.
“Osayi-Samuel made a meal of it, and they tried to unsettle the rea feree with the crowd,” he said.
“Fenerbahce have to be careful as we have VAR to look at it. The referee got it correct straight away.”
