'How do you disallow that?', 'RIP football' - Fans aghast at Man United VAR controversy in 3-3 v Galatasaray
Fans were left baffled over a “ridiculous” VAR call that went narrowly in Man United’s favour in their 3-3 Champions League clash against Galatasaray on Wednesday night (29 November).

Erik ten Hag’s side now languish at the bottom of Group A and victory in their final group stage game against Bayern Munich may not be enough to secure qualification.
