Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has spoken about his frustration after Video Assistant Referee (VAR) handed Arsenal an equaliser at Old Trafford and condemned Manchester United to their worst start to a season for 30 years.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was initially flagged offside by linesman Scott Ledger, only for the decision to be overturned by the video official.
The decision brought Arsenal level, after Scott McTominay had opened the scoring for Man United.
Solskjaer argued afterwards that defender Ashley Young had stopped once he had seen Ledger’s flag go up.
“Ashley certainly holds his hand up, he looks straight at the linesman, maybe hesitates and could have got a block in.
“It probably would have helped David [De Gea] but it’s no consolation — it’s a perfectly good goal for them but he probably should have kept the flag down.
“It made an impact on the situation by raising the flag, when it’s that way you can wait and take it later,” Solskjaer told the media after the 1-1 draw.
