'It's never a foul' - Solskjaer dismisses VAR controversy in Man Utd's draw with Liverpool

The Red Devils boss says the officials got all the key decisions correct and deserve credit rather than criticism

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer played down the VAR debate surrounding his side’s goal against Liverpool and instead praised the referee for his performance at Old Trafford.

Liverpool were left furious when Marcus Rashford’s first-half strike was given as they felt Divock Origi was fouled by Victor Lindelof in the build-up.

To compound matters, Liverpool’s Sadio Mane had a goal disallowed via VAR minutes later for handball, though the Reds did level late on through Adam Lallana to earn a point.
