Is it? I was surprise ...if rashford had stopped I would agree but ran with the ball. Potentially distracting a defender

How on earth is that not interfering

He hasn’t played the ball, and hasn’t prevented a City player from playing the ball. How is he interfering?

How could anyone say Rashford was interfering? He ended up in same spot as Bruno. If Rashford wasn't there, do you think defenders would have run off somewhere else. They were all chasing back towards ball

Going to be a tense final 10 mins

I guess it could be how the defenders are reacting to Rashford - they know he is offside so waiting for the flag to come up and just tracking him but then Fernandes steals in

By the rules it’s a goal - but it’s the same as the other non offside goals recently

He's taken one defenders attention away from going to Fernandez

But it's stood now

Disappointed in our decision to let Dawson not play today..think it's a lack of professionalism. on verge of a move to wolves so could be conflict of interest

Don't pay Him this week then if he can't play

 

[Slime]

Uh oh, Harry's coming on!

Have City got a problem with Haaland ?

Non existent today , and seen it in a few games. Yep he will score a lot of goals that come in batches but has little involvement in the build up play , his movement looks poor - he doesn’t seem a good fit for City. Their front three with Foden and Mahrez look nowhere near as fluid as last season

No, he was just up against Luke Shaw.

He has, he was in front of Akanji sheilding the ball, thats how he was interfering.

My bad, i had Ake and Akanji mixed up.

 

[Slime]

I'm absolutely buzzing.
ETH's United is a different beast!
I feared the worst at one down, but Utd were superb and just never gave up.
Was Haaland playing?
Shaw was superb today, Casemire is always superb.
Cup of tea and a cigar incoming for Slime.

Man u were very lucky, Pep will rightly be seething.

Poor refereeing from the man in the middle and VAR.

 

[Tashyboy]

I am fekin livid, how can Rashford not be offside from that, the ball was played to him, he half dummies a shot defenders close him down and he leaves it for Bruno. What a load of crap.
How does Atwell get to referee those games.
City gave the ball away to often, and congrats to Utd. TH showing he can do it.

Today is a classic example of why football with VAR has turned me off.

 

[Swango1980]

Very pleased with that result, obviously. Looked like we'd only ever score on a quick break, and I guess City weren't able to, or didn't set up to stop that happening after they scored

Really like Garnacho, and Shaw is looking even more impressive with his versatility in playing both centrally and on left.

Also, pretty sure that is Wan Bissaka ahead of TAA for England's right back

 

[Slime]

Oh, and the offside law is an ass.

VAR will show they were nudged out.?

Apparently they didn’t interfere with play so it’s ok. ??‍
