I also said it last week that it's so difficult nowadays for the referee to decide," Van Gaal said."For more than 20, 30 years I've been in this profession, we need video because the referee cannot do it by himself. "I think [Oliver] is one of the best referees in England but yes, difficult."Van Gaal felt a video referee could have helped with another key moment in the game when Danny Simpson collided with Jesse Lingard, who was through on goal, but Oliver gave no foul. "We also have the red card maybe, for Simpson on Lingard," the Dutchman told MUTV."I can see why you wouldn't whistle, because it was not a heavy foul, but he grabbed him, so he could have given it.”</blockquote>
