Maguire's Handball Does Not Cancel Man Utd Goal vs Ipswich
On Sunday, Manchester United defeated Ipswich Town 5-2 in the Premier League, with Harry Maguire participating in the match. During the build-up to one of Manchester United's goals, Maguire appeared to handle the ball.
He used his arm to gather possession before his shot deflected off Ipswich defender Jacob Greaves and entered the net. Although many anticipated that the goal would be canceled due to the handball, a VAR check was conducted, and the match referee ultimately awarded the goal to Manchester United.
The Premier League match centre subsequently issued a statement explaining that since Maguire was not the player who scored the goal, the unintentional handball could not be penalized according to the current rules.
