'I am the best-behaved manager!' - Mourinho laughs off Man United's VAR controversy

A seemingly valid goal from Juan Mata was ruled out after referral to the technology, but the manager does not want to lose his new good boy status!

Jose Mourinho says referees must have the final say on the use of VAR in football after another controversial incident in Manchester United's FA Cup win over Huddersfield Town.

United progressed to the quarter-final, where they will face Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford, after Romelu Lukaku's double sealed a 2-0 victory at John Smith's Stadium.

The major talking point occurred seconds before half-time, though, when Juan Mata's goal was ruled out for offside after a VAR referral despite conflicting views on whether the decision was correct.
