Manchester United legend Gary Neville is convinced VAR officials made an error in approving 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 that decision. VAR officials determined that Haaland was not in an offside position when the ball was played by Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot.

However, Manchester City midfielder Enzo was in an offside position when he attempted to touch the ball before it reached Haaland. Although Enzo did not touch the ball, his movement appeared to interfere with Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez. 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-field offside decision to disallow the goal and determined that Haaland was in an onside position, therefore recommending the goal be allowed. VAR also determined that although Enzo was in an offside position, he did not touch the ball."

Gary Neville stated: "I think this rule and these circumstances are sufficient for the Professional Game Match Officials Limited to issue a clear apology. There is no doubt that Enzo attempted to touch the ball at that moment and interfered with Lisandro Martinez's defending. This is a completely wrong decision, and they will realize they made a mistake."
