Martinez: We have to go home with this injustice​

Erling Haaland's winning goal in the Manchester derby on Sunday was initially disallowed for offside on the pitch before VAR overturned the decision.

The VAR officials deemed Haaland was played onside by Patrick Dorgu. However, Enzo Fernandez was in an offside position as he attempted to play the ball before it reached Haaland.

Despite not touching the ball, Fernandez's movement appeared to impact the defending of Lisandro Martinez before Haaland's back-post finish, which by the laws of the game should have led to the goal remaining disallowed.

Man Utd not planning further action over incorrect derby VAR decision​


Manchester United do not plan to take any further action over the incorrect VAR decision to award Manchester City's goal at Old Trafford on Sunday, Sky Sports News understands.
Despite remaining hugely frustrated by the situation, United have appreciated the effort Howard Webb and ProRef have made to apologise and explain the mistake.
United now want to move on and focus fully on Wednesday night's Carabao Cup tie against Brighton at Old Trafford.
The VARs involved - Matt Donohue and assistant Blake Antrobus - have not been appointed to a Premier League game this coming weekend. Referee Michael Oliver, assistants Stuart Burt, Tim Wood and fourth official Paul Tierney all remain in action.
