<\/p>\nMANCHESTER UNITED supporters were raging last night after VAR failed to check a foul that could have led to a sending-off against FC Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils suffered a crushing 4-3 defeat to the Danes in Champions League Group A after Marcus Rashford was shown a first-half red card for a studs-up challenge.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
United threw away the lead TWICE in a match that had seven goals, two penalties, the \u201cgame-changing\u201d sending off and lengthy delays due to a pitch invading protester and a medical emergency in the crowd.<\/p>\n
However, in a week dominated by VAR issues from Arsenal\u2019s defeat at Newcastle and Tottenham\u2019s loss at home to Chelsea, that was the main talking point again.<\/p>\n
It firstly intervened when United were 2-0 ahead on 42 minutes to deem Rashford had planted his foot on the ankle of Elias Jelert – a decision Erik ten Hag says \u201cchanged the game\u201d.<\/p>\n
On-field ref Donatas Rumsas was also called to the pitchside monitor a further two times to award penalties – with Harry Maguire harshly adjudged to have handballed while the Red Devils benefitted from a similar call in the second period.<\/p>\n
Eagle-eyed viewers had earlier claimed that Copenhagen\u2019s first goal, which was seconds after Rashford\u2019s red, should have been disallowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, another incident involving two-goal Rasmus Hojlund that went unpunished got them even more irate.<\/p>\n Copenhagen defender Denis Vavro was booked for a foul on the United forward in first half stoppage time.<\/p>\n But supporters believe he should have received his marching orders during the second period after a clash with the Dane.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n As the pair tussled following a ball played forward by the Red Devils, Hojlund managed to flick it on despite the centre-back having both arms around his chest, only to then receive a forearm in the side of the face.<\/p>\n Fortunately for the hosts, VAR did not intervene – but furious United fans were outraged that it was not checked and deemed a straight red.<\/p>\n One supporter shared a clip of the incident and wrote: \u201cHave people not gotten reds for less? How was this not checked?!\u201d<\/p>\n And it soon got other supporters talking as one response read: \u201cCasemiro would have received the death penalty\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat player was already on a yellow so if he\u2019s trying to play the ball with his arm that\u2019s a yellow NEVERMIND elbowing Hojlund in the head,\u201d said a fellow fuming fan.<\/p>\n Another fan declared: \u201cThis should have been a red. VAR didn\u2019t even look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n But not everybody was convinced, especially supporters from other clubs.<\/p>\n One reply said: \u201cLol surely you\u2019re joking.\u201d<\/p>\n While another asked: \u201cExplain to me where the red at? I wanna see it too.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/B10G40-Betfred-Image-Football-1.jpg\")
