Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes VAR officials incorrectly allowed Manchester City's winning goal in their 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Haaland's goal was initially disallowed for offside on the pitch, but VAR overturned the decision. The VAR official determined that Haaland was not in an offside position when the ball was played by Manchester City midfielder Alvarez to him.

However, Manchester City midfielder Enzo was in an offside position when he attempted to play the ball before it was passed to Haaland. Although Enzo did not touch the ball, his movement appeared to interfere with Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez. According to the laws of the game, the goal should have remained disallowed.

The Premier League Match Centre previously posted on social media to explain why the goal was allowed: "VAR reviewed the on-pitch offside decision to disallow the goal and determined that Haaland was in a legal position, therefore recommending the goal be awarded. VAR also determined that although Enzo was in an offside position, he did not touch the ball."

Gary Neville stated: "I think these rules and clauses are enough for PGMOL to clearly apologize. There is no doubt that Enzo was attempting to play the ball and interfered with Lisandro Martínez's defending. It's a really bizarre decision, and they will realize they made an error."
