Controversy at Old Trafford: Gary Neville Slams VAR Decision in Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest Match
Gary Neville criticized the decision to allow Manchester United's second goal against Nottingham Forest, as Bryan Mbeumo appeared to handle the ball in the build-up. After Morato equalized Luke Shaw's opener, United quickly scored through Matheus Cunha. However, VAR intervened as Mbeumo's arm seemed to touch the ball inside the box. Neville expressed his disbelief at the decision, stating that the goal should not have stood due to the clear handball. Despite the celebrations, the goal was eventually awarded, leading Neville to label the decision as a "shocker" and "ridiculous." The VAR review process was heavily scrutinized, with Neville emphasizing the obvious handball that should have resulted in the goal being disallowed.
