The incident happened in the 33rd minute when Marcus Rashford scored, apparently leveling the score for Manchester United, who were down 1-0 at that point.
However, the officials promptly invalidated the goal, citing an offside call that has puzzled both fans and analysts.
Rashford’s goal, which had been celebrated by the crowd at Old Trafford, was soon questioned as the VAR team reviewed the play. The on-field referee, after consulting with VAR, ruled out the goal for offside, despite many believing there was insufficient evidence to support this decision.
Replays indicated that Rashford seemed to be level with the last defender when the ball was played, causing widespread frustration and claims that Manchester United had been unjustly denied a crucial goal.
The ruling has incited anger among Manchester United fans, who have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction.
Many contended that the offside call was dubious, with some even suggesting that VAR had failed in ensuring fairness and precision.
Pundits also weighed in on the issue, with several prominent analysts arguing that the goal should have been upheld.
As the game went on, the mood at Old Trafford remained tense, with the disallowed goal overshadowing the match.
Feeling wronged by the decision, Manchester United pressed on in search of an equalizer, but the sense of unfairness persisted both on and off the field.
