Ref Watch: Should Bruno Fernandes' goal have stood against ... (Sky Sports)

Bruno Fernandes equalising goal in the Manchester derby was allowed to stand despite Marcus Rashford appearing to interfere with play from an offside ...

"The rule is the rule, the interpretation belongs to the referee. This is the most important detail we have to improve for the future." If he knows that he is going to go with Rashford, he will go back with him and do the duel one versus one and he sees what happens. The decision is of course [belonging to] the referees and VAR. "When one player shoots and [another] player is in front of the keeper and does not touch the ball, it's disallowed all the time. It is unfortunate as the chances of that happening again soo is so remote and it is so unusual to have a player come in like that. It is subjective and there is nothing that Michael Oliver can say to change his mind." You look at it over and over again, and think 'what is the safest option for me as a ref?' That's not me being a coward, it is me keeping it simple and keeping it safe. When the VAR is looking at it, he can't argue with that because it is not clearly wrong given it is a subjective decision. "It's not as if he is going to tell Stuart Attwell, 'you need to have a look at this, but something happened behind your back.' The referee didn't think Rashford made an offside offence because of the way the laws are configured. "The referee made the decision and hypothetically the VAR would've listened to that and heard him say, in my view, he hasn't impacted on the play. "The assistant referee Darren Cann then makes the decision.

Bruno Fernandes praises togetherness of Manchester United after ... (AS English)

The Portuguese midfielder was full of praise for his side after their 2-1 victory, but did his words have a deeper meaning?

And it was the key to creating the new, new Manchester United. It was obvious: the huge monolith up front, walking around in fake glasses and a plastic moustache, pretending to be ‘one of the gang’, anxiously waiting for Scooby-Doo to rip off his disguise and reveal the huge white elephant. They had a strong goalkeeper, serial Champions League winners in the defence and midfield lines, as well as one of the best players of all time up front. Since the return to club football after the World Cup, Manchester United have been on an extraordinary run in which they have played 7 and won 7, scoring 17 times and conceding just twice. Manager Ralf Ragnick was removed and replaced by a shiny Erik ten Hag, who came from the fame of an all-pressing Ajax side that dominated teams across Europe. Transfers are complex negotiations worth millions of dollars; keeping the grass in perfect conditions is a task of microscopic precision; in-game tactics vary and flow from one system to another in mere seconds, and the tiniest details can be fatal.
