Wayne Rooney has laid into the video assistant referee system after VAR let Erling Haaland's derby winner stand, despite Enzo Fernández standing offside in the build-up.

Manchester City won 0:1 at Old Trafford, playing with 10 men from the 23rd minute onward.

Rooney told The Touchline: "That's a clear offside," Rooney said of Haaland's goal in the Manchester derby.

Lisandro Martínez offered his own reading of the same passage of play. Fernández, a City midfielder who only joined the club this month and has yet to score, was standing in front of him when the ball was played through.

Martínez added: "That's a clear offside." United sit thirteenth in the table on 4 points. Gary Neville said United were owed an apology from Pro Ref regarding the VAR decision.
