Right footed player plays on the left. Do you think he might cut back onto his right foot 
. Criminal that the defenders allow that to happen.
Great reply

Why hasn’t he booked Havertz there

Because there was contact. Not a foul but contact all the same.

But he went to ground so if the was a touch and he had gone to ground then it’s a penalty or the touch isn’t enough for him to go to ground so it’s simulation

There was definite contact, so he had a right to go down.
VAR eventually concluded that he was not wearing a Man Utd shirt, so the decision was rightly overturned.

There was contact. The explanation given (albeit by commentary team inc former ref) was that the contact was Havertz trailing leg catching AWB not the other way round.
So there is contact that brought Havertz down but after review it wasn't contact causing a foul. So yes contact, no penalty.

Yep. Leg came across and initially no contact but Havertz trailing leg caught the defenders leg and unbalanced him.
It was one of those "seen them given" moments.

It was contentious enough that "commentary ref" said he's give it on field. Said several times it's a pen and then after it was sent for review said "and that's why its NOT a pen"... He couldn't even be consistent in a 3 minute spell. What hope is there for consistency across a while game, let alone a season.

So that seems like it should be a penalty - only seen the replay once and it looked like no contact but even if it’s a trailing leg and it’s unbalanced him then that seems like it was the correct call but obviously seems a close call
So the next question with it being such a close and subjective call why did the ref go to the monitor when it’s not a “clear and obvious” error

Can't disagree. Not clear and obvious at all. I didn't think Havertz moved his trail leg to initiate contact, therefore a foul as the defender's leg shouldn't have been there. Husband felt the opposite - and neither of us are Arsenal fans.
That's one of the failings of how VAR is being utilised. It was nowhere near a clear and obvious error.

Knowing he’s going to do it and stopping him are very different things.Right footed player plays on the left. Do you think he might cut back onto his right foot
Great reply
He didn't do anything clever, the defender gave him way too much space to make his move. As a full back, letting that happen is a cardinal sin.

Sancho disputes Ten Hag's reason for benching
Erik ten Hag said Jadon Sancho was dropped from the Manchester United squad for Sunday's 3-1 defeat at Arsenal after failing to "reach the level" in training ahead of the clash at the Emirates.
Things not all well within the club
After all the money spent there seems to be a lack of quality and depth.
