Michael Carrick was left seething by the nature of Manchester United’s controversial 1–0 defeat to Manchester City which, while early in the season, could have a major impact on the remainder of the campaign.
The offside flag was initially raised as Erling Haaland tapped home for City on the hour mark on Sunday. A VAR review confirmed he was, in fact, onside following a deflection on a cross from Patrick Dorgu, but the real controversy came with the verdict that a clearly offside Enzo Fernández was not impacting play as he dove for the ball and drew Lisandro Martínez away from the eventual goalscorer.
