MOTD pundits both said it was a penalty as far as I recall, even the commentators during the game said as much also.
Not sure what pundits you are referring to here.
The outrage when a decision goes in Manchester United’s favour

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Apologies, I seen it on Twitter.

Illegal contact that impedes an attacking player = foul. The trouble is that incompetent officials won’t ever give a foul in that situation unless the player goes down (and increasingly, they won’t give a foul if a player doesn’t go down screaming in agony). They’re incapable of seeing fouls without the ‘help’ of the fouled player.
Clear and obvious error - you saw Martin Keown say something and thought
"That sounds like a reasonable opinion"

More pundits saying the same.
Agbonlahor agreeing with you tells you that you are wrong.
O'Hara and Agbonlahor
I'm sorry but this is the football equivalent of Godwin's law and you should just stop now.
Suspected before I clicked the link that Agbonlahor would be involved, that's some bottom of the barrell stuff.
What next, a clip of Souness saying it's Pogba's fault?
Talksport
Did O'Hara and Agbonlahor have a fit about Szbozoslazi last week....

If that was on the half way line and Rashford had scooted past the player, who impeded him enough to knock him off balance and go down, then it would be a free kick and a booking for a cynical foul. I don't see why it's any difference in the penalty area. If it happened against United I'd be annoyed, but mostly at the defender for being suckered in.
It's a penalty. I'm sure Forrest will get a fair few like that this season with nimble attacker's like Johnson and MGW. They're also both partial to an exaggerated tumble, which they put to good use several times in yesterday's match.
It was a dive. Simple.
For some bizarre reason you can’t accept you would have zero wins this season without incorrect refereeing decisions.
Maybe being so used to favourable decisions has you blinded, which is possibly why you lot go on about decisions against you for years, like Nani and Casemiro…
Keown said it was a dive - ‘oh but that’s Keown’
Onouha said it was a dive - ‘he played for City’
Agbonlahor said it was a dive - ‘but that’s Gabby’
O’Hara said it was a dive - ‘but but but that’s Talksport’
Good grief.

So you conveniently forget all the pundits who said it was a penalty? OK. I mean, it clearly was a penalty, contact was 100% proved. Did Rashford make sure he went down? Probably. But you'd be screaming for a pen if that was a Chelsea player, and you know it
And you also forget the fact we'd have probably won against Spurs if the correct decisions had been made there.
Common denominator - They're all poor pundits, and I'm being generous including Agbonlahor under the term pundit.
You should probably spend more time watching the actual footage than listening to any of these talking about it. There's very clear contact initiated by the defender causing him to go down.
It's on the softer side of penalties and I don't think many would argue against that suggestion, but that doesn't make it a dive or an incorrect decision.
We would have probably gone 1-0 up against Spurs from the penalty spot. Could have won that one.
A bit ricc when the likes of Keown are commenting on penalties, he was the dirtiest defender in his day. He's also up Guardiola's arse and I bet if that was Jack 'the dive' Grealish Keown would have been full of praise for him 'winning' a penalty.
No, I didn’t.
It’s a clear penalty. Just because you need your eyes tested doesn’t make this place RAWK.
It’s an absolute stonewaller of a penalty. His trailing leg is pushed in to his standing leg by the defender, it’s really obvious and is a penalty all day long. Any other team and nobody would even give it a second look.
You're clearly wumming now, so just feck off unless you have anything useful to say.
You're a disgrace to the all the other Chelsea fans that use this forum.
There was contact so it was a penalty. Simple.
You're making it sound like Rashford dived over fresh air
Fixed it for you.
The worst Chelsea poster continuing to be a colossal weapon. Typical.
You have somehow managed to quote four pundits that only have 3 neurones between them.
Whoever promoted him should be shot
Surprised there's any contention with the penalty, it's clear as day for me - gets done by rashfords speed and takes out his back leg
Can understand the red card being an argument as I'm not sure Bruno's getting the ball before Boly however for me clear professional fouls like that deserve a red regardless - it's a fckin rugby tackle

You were doing great, but you went too far here.People are debating if this is a penalty. feck’s sake
It would appear you prefer happy clapping from opposition fans as opposed to objective discussion. If you disagree you are now a wind up merchant. Brilliant.
I look forward to tomorrow when we will be first up on Ref Watch with ALL the controversial decisions at Old Trafford.
Because they were the only ones this weekend, nothing happen in any of the other games take Arsenal Fulham for example.

Objective discussion?
You're either clearly a wum, or have absolutely no idea about football.
Just because people disagree with you doesn’t mean it’s some fandom shit. Don’t come on here being condescending to our fanbase when you know it’s a minority opinion.
He doesn’t even “throw himself down” or “make a meal of it” as I’ve seen some pundits say, he got totally cleaned out.
O'Hara and Agbonlahor

Agbonlahore >>> Mayos
Nah. I posted what I saw as a slightly embellished reading of
*And that's why I joined, because it's by far the biggest football forum, there are loads of people from all over the shop with a huge number of perspectives and interests. Pretty sure at least 20% of forum members aren't Man Utd fans, and maybe 50% or more aren't even from the UK. Far more interesting place than one that's dedicated to one club and whose members are much more limited in scope.
Edited the strike through.
Sorry but this is nonsense. You can’t use decisions that rightfully went our way as proof of anything. We weren’t lucky to get those decisions, we should get more of them is basically the point fans are making. This rightful penalty doesn’t even out Utd not getting an even more obvious penalty against Spurs
imagine seeing what happened after Klopp mouthed off and thinking thisI reckon it was a penalty. The red card - I've seen 'em given, I've seen 'em not. I've seen plenty of decisions go your way. I've seen plenty of decisons go against you. What I've not really seen before (maybe I haven't been looking) is threads so frequently popping up decrying an anti Manchester United agenda regardless of outcome.
Not sure how there is any debate on this, but then there are so many blind and deluded guys watching football, it's not a surprise.
