Carrick Slams VAR After United's Derby Loss to City
In a Premier League derby, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick voiced his anger at the VAR system following his team's home defeat to Manchester City. The match was decided by a single goal from Erling Haaland, which United contested should have been disallowed for offside.
City faced a significant challenge after Phil Foden was sent off for violent conduct early in the match, leaving them with 10 men for over an hour. Despite this numerical advantage, United failed to score.
The goal by Haaland, which came midway through the second half, was subjected to a lengthy VAR review before being allowed to stand, leading Carrick to question the decision and the officials involved. He described the call as inexplicable based on the replays he viewed.
The defeat left United reflecting on a derby loss that hinged on one controversial moment.
