Garnacho was not offside that is what Manchester United fans are saying after VAR canceled his strike in the loss to Arsenal.

Arsenal recorded a 3-1 victory against Manchester United in a Premier League fixture played on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

The game was tied at 1-1 going into the final stages until Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho put the ball past Aaron Ramsdale.

The goal was eventually disallowed by Anthony Taylor after consultation with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

Ultimately, two late goals from Declan Rice and then Gabriel Jesus gave Arsenal a 3-1 victory.

Erik ten Hag and every Manchester United fan in attendance will be furious because it was an error of judgment based on social media reactions.

This would have been a noteworthy road win If the goal by Garnacho was counted as he converted the ball from Casemiro passed neatly.
