The referee had initially given a corner kick, before VAR intervention subsequently saw a spot-kick awarded, as Marcus Rashford converted to send United through.

Just after the game, Neymar posted on Instagram: “This is a disgrace, they put four people that know nothing about football in charge of looking at the replay for VAR.

"There is no penalty. How can it be a handball when it hits his back! Go f*** yourselves!”

There were also reports that the Brazilian came very close to forcing his way into the officials’ office after the game but he was stopped by PSG staff.

His outburst has not gone down well with UEFA who have now handed him a three-match ban, which means the 27-year-old will miss PSG’s first three games in the Champions League next season.

A UEFA statement declared: "The CEDB has decided to suspend the Paris Saint-Germain player Neymar Junior for three (3) UEFA competition matches for which he would be otherwise eligible, for insulting match officials."

Neymar made his return to action from a broken foot in PSG's 3-1 win over Monaco last weekend - a result which secured another Ligue 1 title for the club.

PSG were crowned French Ligue 1 champions on Sunday night, April 21, after second-placed Lille battled to a goalless draw away to Toulouse.
