Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw has said that the Video Assistant Referee technology or 'VAR' is "embarrassing" and "most" players think it should be scrapped in an interview with pundit Danny Murphy.

The Whites player missed this weekend's game against Aston Villa with an ankle injury and Forshaw was brutally honest about VAR's integration into the Premier League.
