New footage emerges of Harry Maguire’s reaction to disallowed Man Utd goal as fans claim ‘there’s a clear agenda’
- 6 months ago
HARRY MAGUIRE was left baffled as Manchester United saw a goal get disallowed against Fulham.
The Red Devils edged the Cottagers 1-0 yesterday after a last-gasp Bruno Fernandes strike sealed a much-needed win.
But United thought they had the lead in the first half when Scott McTominay tapped home from close range.
The goal was given by the linesman but a lengthy VAR check resulted in it being chalked off.
Maguire was offside in the build-up and despite not touching the ball was judged to have been involved after attempting to kick it.
Referee John Brooks was called to the pitchside monitor to review the decision and he concluded that the centre-back was interfering with play.
While the official was looking at the screen, Maguire protested his innocence.
He was videoed by a Fulham fan as he shouted: "I wasn’t even involved ref.
"Hey, I wasn’t even involved, go to hell."
Fans fumed at the disallowing of the goal, one said: "There is a clear agenda against Man Utd."
Another added: "The refs are a disgrace."
Others praised Maguire for showing his passion, as a supporter commented: "Give him the captain's armband."
A fourth wrote: "Maguire is a whole vibe."
The decision was VAR's first controversial moment of the day after they later allowed Newcastle's winner against Arsenal amid much debate over whether the ball went out or if there was a foul in the build-up.
