Jesus this is awful stuff. Like a training game.

I know man u aren’t what they used to be but surely they can attract better than James.

He’ll probably score now.

That’s as blatant a penalty as you will ever see. VAR Ffs.

Surprised Maguire didn’t try that move on one of his teammates.

This the man u peno?

VAR doesn't even look at Maguire however spends minutes looking at that thing with Rashford.

VAR is a joke.

Bad decision. Was a penalty

Yea Chelsea very unlucky. Can't grab someone like Mcguire did.

The criteria for VAR is absolutely bizarre. I think they need to remove the "clear and obvious error" and give the VAR official the power to look at a potential foul with a fresh perspective.

Both were penalties in my opinion, I hate to say it but Rashford didn't do himself a favour by staying on his feet, should have gone down like a sack of spuds.

The black box approach to VAR is a massive issue. They should be made to report their reasoning behind the decisions as and when they occur (if you leave it until post game they’re retroactively justify things).

And obviously take the referees out of the room entirely. Made it completely independent.

Poor enough game. Thought with two poor defences it’d be a bit more open. Mendy probably had man u’s best chance.

Chelsea really need at least one to get anything from this because everyone knows what’s coming.

How in gods name have VAR not given a pen aginst Maguire, What more do yiu have to do to foul someone?
