Haven't seen the tackle but do agree with the gist of your point that

Man U (and to be fair other 'big' teams) do tend to get the big decisions go for them in comparrison to 'smaller' teams.
Not a lot you can do about it though. I'm sure refs don't set out to favour certain teams but pressure can, I think, get to them when those teams - and their managers of course - are involved
