Shocking VAR error saves Man Utd's bacon on Monday night - Watch farcical incident here
The new season is just a few days old and VAR is at it again, with officials at Old Trafford missing a blatant penalty that should've seen Man Utd drop two points to Wolves.
With the Red Devils 1-0 up and hanging on for dear life in extra time, new goalkeeper Andre Onana came out to clear a cross in the 96th minute but instead clattered into Sasa Kalajdzic, completely missing the ball and taking out the man.
It was one of THE most 'clear and obvious' penalties you'll see in football, yet VAR didn't even ask the on-field referee to take another look, allowing Erik ten Hag's side to take all three points. Watch the incident below:
Wolves were comfortably the better side and deserved to be in front before Raphael Varane’s opener, but the decision to deny them a stone wall penalty - and allow our top-four rivals to get away with it once again - felt wrong.
If Wolves were 1-0 up and Jose Sa clattered into Marcus Rashford at the other end, I'm almost certain VAR intervene, ask the referee to take another look and award a penalty. PGMOL have already apologised to Wolves, accepting they made the wrong call, but it's a little late now.
I was actually encouraged to see Man Utd play so poorly, but it's concerning to see one of our 'big six' rivals receive protection from referees once again.
