Manchester United secured a dramatic late victory against Nottingham Forest, courtesy of a goal by Casemiro, propelling them into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
However, beyond the euphoria of the late winner, the match unfolded with several pivotal moments that have ignited discussions among fans.
The first contentious incident involved Marcus Rashford being brought down in the box—a situation many believed warranted a penalty. Following that, Bruno Fernandes found himself "choked" by Felipe, though no card was shown.
Adding to the controversy, some spectators argue that United's goal should have been disallowed as Varane appeared to be in an offside position.
Whether scrutinized by VAR or fans in general, decisions involving Manchester United often spark discrepancies. Some calls in the game were deemed shocking, with the potential to alter the entire complexion of the match had Casemiro not secured the late winner.
The call for increased efficiency in VAR is growing louder. Teams are feeling the impact of questionable decisions, and what was introduced to enhance the game's fairness now seems to contribute to complications.
The technology needs a closer look to fulfill its intended purpose of bettering the beautiful game.
