Half the teams in the league build their wide/deep free kick routines around having players in offside positions actively block defenders off, and almost never get called for it.
But that goal's disallowed?

Maguire swings a leg at it but is miles away and doesnt effect anything does he?
Seemed a pretty clear decision tbh, very unlucky but got to the objectively correct outcome.
Are you really surprised? This is a board that thinks the refs have an agenda to keep United from winning.
It was clearly offside, but it's pointless to argue with anyone about it.
it’s ruining the game, wether it goes for you or not in my opinion. I find myself increasingly not bothered about watching games these days and I know I’m not the only one. If you can’t react to what’s happening because you know they’re going to go through it with a fine tooth comb every time desperate to try and disallow it then you may as well just watch the highlights on match of the day.
Go troll somewhere else.
Expect he doesn't touch the ball. He doesn't stop the defender from getting the ball. He's not in the way of the keeper. And the funniest part is VAR asked the ref to check the screen... like what? If it's offside, it's fecking offside, no? You're literally making rules up if you don't actually know what you're checking.
Honestly no other team gets that ruled out.
Seriously, a hairline call on a player who didn't touch the ball while the guy who was always getting the ball was onside? fecking what?
Ever since the onana none penalty and the media backlash the officials have obviously set out to feck us over because it's every week this is happening now.
Take the fine and go after VAR.

I can’t believe Jenas gets hired by different channels. He’s up there with Owen Savage and McManaman for levels of absolute shite talk
Anyone here saying that was correct is anti-football and a WUM
Could argue the back post defender gets drawn into him rather than dropping off to garnacho. Wouldn't be convinced it's clear and obvious though.
And again, it happens every fk or corner.
Maguire was clearly in an offside position. It's absolutely not clear that he had any material impact on the play though.
I think the VAR has come to a ridiculous point of nitpicking on millimetres and subjectivity. It has totally distorted the original intent of the football rules. Offsides are there to prevent a disadvantage to defenders. In such situation where it is not obvious at all and need to look at millimetres of line, VAR should not have overturned the decision at all unless it is an obvious advantage given to attacker that leads to goals. I rather we scrap VAR and just let referee decide on all on field decisions.
Nowadays I feel that every time man utd scores a goal, VAR will look at every possible angle to find a fault and disallow it. I wonder if that is a conspiracy going on because we get overturned at least a goal every game. How unlucky can that be

It's so subjective, underscored by how ridiculously long it took to make the call. Which just underlines the arbitrariness and pointlessness of VAR. Refereeing football is not an exact science, it's interpretation. VAR doesn't correct calls, it just changes them, usually with a mindset of: Can we find some excuse to rule out this goal?
How anyone can think that improves the game is beyond me.
4 minutes to find something to try and disallow the goal. Still go back to that City goal when Akanji (?) moves his foot towards the ball and it gets given.
So clear that VAR couldn’t actually decide and had to send the ref to the monitor.
Obvious WUM is obvious.
Our next goal could be the Beckham halfway line lob and I wouldn't celebrate in fear of var
It's the consistency.
They need to be investigated for corruption.
So let's get this right, the onfield decision is onside?
And Maguire flicking a leg out, thus impeding the defender and being a mm off was a clear and obvious error that was missed?

This
The referee always gets sent to the monitor for those sort of subjective offsides. That's just the way their protocol works.
Yes, the defender on the back post tucks in the mark Maguire and leaves Garnacho free to cross it.
A "subjective offside" ffs.
They're just making it up as they go along

Are we the team with the most overturned goals? Lately it seems like at least 50 percent of our goals don't stand.
Yeah, the inconsistency is obviously infuriating, but this decision in isolation was probably correct.
Our striker was torpedo'd in the oppo's box last week and the var did nothing
Oh agree 100%. I hate VAR with a passion. That's a different conversation though.

Subjective offsides have always been a thing.
He literally made physical contact with the only defender who could stop Garnacho from receiving that cross. If the plays were reversed you would be livid.
It's onside if your name is Akanji though.
The absolute state of officiating in this league.
You don't need to touch the ball to impact play. He's dragging other players out of positions they would otherwise occupy.
Seen it now, it's definitely offside. You can hate the new rules, but there is no point hating the decision.
Exactly the one that came to mind
Puts the defender in a silly position of risking leaving it, to get the offside, or clear it then see matey able to score.
Ten Hag should be asking for the audio
The problem isn't VAR, it's the imbeciles using it. It's exposing the awful inconsistency in decision making amongst officials who simply aren't good enough.
They literally make up rules that are never applied to anybody else but apply them to us
Football was more fun before VAR. Still can’t believe people thought it was a great idea. Ruins the game, ruins goals. Ruins the joy.
Exactly, he's clearly directly influencing play.
