The incident occurred in the 33rd minute when Marcus Rashford found the back of the net, seemingly equalizing for Manchester United, who were trailing 1-0 at the time.
However, the goal was quickly ruled out by the officials, citing an offside decision that has left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads.
Rashford’s goal, which was celebrated by the Old Trafford faithful, was soon brought into question as the VAR officials took a closer look at the build-up.
The on-field referee, after consulting with the VAR team, disallowed the goal on the grounds of offside, despite what many believe to be insufficient evidence to justify the decision.
Replays showed that Rashford appeared to be in line with the last defender when the ball was played, leading to widespread frustration and accusations that Manchester United had been unfairly robbed of a crucial goal.
The decision has sparked outrage among Manchester United supporters, who took to social media to voice their displeasure.
Many argued that the offside call was highly questionable, with some even suggesting that the VAR system had failed in its role to ensure fairness and accuracy.
Pundits, too, were quick to weigh in on the controversy, with several high-profile analysts expressing their belief that the goal should have stood.
As the match continued, the atmosphere at Old Trafford remained tense, with the disallowed goal casting a shadow over the proceedings.
Manchester United, feeling aggrieved by the decision, continued to press for an equalizer, but the sense of injustice lingered both on and off the pitch.
