Rangnick Slams VAR And Says Manchester United Should Have Scored 3 Goals Against Burnley

JAKARTA - Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick revealed his disappointment after his team played against Burnley on Wednesday, February 9 in the morning WIB.

After the match ended in a 1-1 draw, Rangnick immediately criticized the video assistant referee (VAR). According to the coach, his team should have scored three goals had it not been for this technological intervention.

"We scored three goals! It was different to Friday. The second was ruled out, the linesman marked a foul but 10 seconds after the incident. It is a very strange decision I have to say," Rangnick was quoted as saying by BT Sport after the game.

In the match of week 24 of the English League 2021/2022 season at Turf Moor Stadium, Manchester United did score three goals. However, two goals that were created in the first half were disallowed by the referee.

Maguire and Paul Pogba scored the two goals that were not approved by the referee. Maguire's goal was disallowed because the owner was considered offside, while Pogba was considered to have violated Erik Pieters before scoring.

"Once again we played a very good first half. We controlled and dominated the game. We scored three goals but two were ruled out," said Rangnick annoyed.

Further about the course of the match, Rangnick revealed that the Red Devils' game in the second half actually decreased due to feelings of pressure after their two goals were disallowed.

The problem gave Burnley a psychological advantage. They were finally able to get a gap to appear more aggressive and managed to score a goal to equalize.

"From the way we let them (Burnley) score, we didn't defend the whole situation. We are frustrated because we should have won the game comfortably," he explained.

This draw makes Man United have to go down to fifth position standings by collecting 39 points. The following week, the Red Devils will welcome Southampton at Old Trafford on Saturday, 12 February.

Meanwhile, the addition of one point did not make Burnley's position any better. The team nicknamed The Clarets is still in the last position in the standings by collecting 14 points from 20 matches.
