Exactly. He was 3 pixels offside. I would love to be the wanker who draws lines in VAR replays.
Be careful what you wish for. Soon it may be down to one pixel.
Just because the system can draw a line across the pitch doesn't make it 100% absolute.
Because of the speed of a player and the precise time when the pass is made, it cannot always be 100% accuracy.

Anyway. The advantage should always be for the attackers and not the defenders.
The objective of football is to score goals. Not to find lots of reasons to disallow them.

If Greenwood keeps improving like this, we should spend the money for Sancho on a new TopTop CB first.

One of those games where you feel we could have kept scoring.

Good to see a team us battering a team at Old Trafford.

Just heard a stat that surprised me. This is the first time we've scored 5 Premier League goals on Old Trafford since 2011. Against Wigan.

Although last time we scored 5 period was 2012 at Wolves

Interesting enough, Pogba played in that one.

So, so loose in possession, especially Maguire. He caused the Bailly quagmire, which wasn't a penalty by the way. He looked like a Sunday pub league player at times. Rio or Vidic did not look like this. Still back him, but a concerning performance, to be sure.

Ideally yes.

The rule is biased towards high scoring, top team who will, in high probability, score again. But the rule goes severly against lower teams who struggle to score a goal. One chance and VAR taketh away. Since we are free scoring team, or that's what we want to be, then this rule is good for us.
