Pro Ref Admits Error in Haaland's Goal Decision Against Manchester United

The refereeing body Pro Ref has recognized an error in the decision to award Manchester City's winning goal against Manchester United in their recent match at Old Trafford, which ended 1-0.

Following the game, Pro Ref contacted Manchester United to clarify that Erling Haaland's goal should have prompted an on-field review by VAR. Initially, the goal was disallowed for offside, but VAR overturned this decision, ruling Haaland onside while overlooking the potential offside interference from Enzo Fernandez.

Pro Ref stated that although Fernandez did not touch the ball, his position could have influenced the play, which should have been considered. A review of the incident is planned, as the organization aims to address the implications of this judgment error.
