Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt inaction from the VAR cost Manchester United in their defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday.
United lost 1-0 at Old Trafford to Kortney Hause s header in the 88th minute, although Bruno Fernandes missed a stoppage-time penalty that would have sent the home side top.
Solskjaer s side were poor, with only four of their 28 attempts hitting the target – their most shots without scoring in a league game for five years (38 against Burnley in October 2016).
But the manager was not happy with the nature of Hause s winner at the other end.
Solskjaer highlighted Ollie Watkins position close to David de Gea in an offside position and revealed a discussion with officials indicated the VAR was to blame.
We started the game well, aggressive, good on transition, going forward quickly, he told MUTV. The decision-making, execution in the last third wasn t the best, and that cost us today.
And decision-making on VAR again cost us again.
Unfortunately, I ve got to say it: it s offside. The goal, as Hause is heading it, Watkins is actually touching David, he s impeding him.
I can t see the consistency anywhere in this VAR decision-making.
They ve come out in the corridor, and I ve asked them for an explanation. The linesman flagged it up with VAR and definitely VAR has gone wrong again.
