VAR has acknowledged a significant oversight during the Liverpool vs. Manchester United match that went unnoticed by many.

 

It has been reported that VAR recognized a substantial mistake made during the Liverpool versus Manchester United fixture, which went without notice.

 

The Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester United took place over the weekend, showcasing one of the most intense rivalries in English football.

 

Arne Slot’s Liverpool entered the match as one of the few remaining unbeaten teams in the league, while Manchester United has experienced a somewhat inconsistent season so far.

 

As anticipated by many supporters, the Reds secured all three points at Old Trafford, thanks to two goals from Luis Diaz and one from Mohamed Salah.

 

Consequently, both Diaz and Virgil van Dijk earned spots in Alan Shearer’s Team of the Week.

 

Slot later disclosed his straightforward tactics for the match, which drew criticism from Roy Keane.

 

However, a former Liverpool player has pointed out a VAR error that seemingly went unnoticed during the game.

 

Neil Mellor claims that Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty against Manchester United, highlighting a significant VAR mistake.

 

VAR has faced criticism this season, particularly following a controversial incident in the Arsenal vs. Brighton match.

 

Fans and analysts alike have expressed concerns regarding the inconsistencies in officiating across the Premier League.

 

Now, Mellor believes he has identified an overlooked incident at Old Trafford, sharing two images on his personal Twitter account that depict Noussair Mazraoui making contact with Cody Gakpo’s leg. Although an advantage was played, VAR did not review the situation.

 

In a match that was largely free of VAR-related controversy, this incident appears to have been missed entirely.

 

Looking ahead, Liverpool currently sits at the top of the table with maximum points from their first three matches, having not conceded a single goal, placing them second to Manchester City on goal difference.

 

Slot’s team will be eager to maintain their momentum during the international break, whether they are representing their countries or training under the Dutchman at the AXA training facility.

 

Conversely, Manchester United and Erik ten Hag face significant challenges. It is particularly troubling that the Red Devils seem unable to compete with Liverpool at this time.

 

Ten Hag was even seen in frustration, throwing a water bottle following Mohamed Salah’s goal.

 

It now appears that Jim Ratcliffe’s choice to retain Ten Hag as manager may be proving detrimental, especially after their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, as the situation seems to be deteriorating rapidly.
