Manchester United may have more ‘extra’ seconds, but this shows nothing about how fair that extra time is.
Show me the figures for goals scored for/against, substitutions used in games and injuries in games for/against Manchester United compared to other teams. Until that information is compared along side the ‘extra’ time, you can’t say it’s unfair or actually extra.
Extra time comes from the time lost for subs, goals and injuries. Not just the referees/officials imagination.
