Haagland’s goal prompts VAR debate
Wayne Rooney, a Manchester United legend, has called for the abolition of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology following the controversy sparked by Erling Haaland's goal in the Manchester derby. In the match, which ended with Manchester City winning 1-0, the goal was initially disallowed for offside but was later approved after VAR intervention, despite the refereeing committee later confirming that the decision was incorrect due to interference from Enzo Fernández, even though he was in an offside position. Rooney expressed his displeasure with the technology, deeming it something that robs the game of its emotions and excitement. He pointed out that the incorrect decision was particularly surprising given other contentious moments, such as Phil Foden's early red card—Manchester City’s manager considered it deserved—though Rooney also noted that Bruno Fernandes deserved to be sent off for the same incident.
