After consulting the pitchside screen, he pointed to the spot and Jarrod Bowen dispatched to earn Julen Lopetegui's men a valuable three points.
The Premier League released a statement on the decision by claiming there was "sufficient contact" to award the penalty.
But Man Utd coach Fletcher, 40, clearly did not agree.
According to , he was sat in the stands with Man Utd analysts and could be heard slamming the referee's call.
He is reported to have said: "One week it's a high threshold, next week it's not, f***ing joke."
The comment comes just days after he was charged with misconduct by the FA for "acting in an improper or confrontational manner" during Man Utd's clash with Brentford.
