The are jubitaling as if the win the Champions League, Let’s see how they win the Premier League, VAR cheated, or they won’t have a tongue to celebrate now: Manchester United Manager Erig Ten Hag Send Strong message warning to Fabian Hürzeler after VAR rough decision to give Brighton the win yesterday
Mason Mount was replaced at halftime during Manchester United’s loss to Brighton after citing an injury.
Brighton’s Joao Pedro scored a 95th-minute header to defeat United 2-1 on the south coast. The dismal outcome was exacerbated by Mount’s injury, which forced him to come off at the break in favor of Joshua Zirkzee.
Mount made only 20 appearances in all competitions last season following his £55 million move from Chelsea due to injury. The 25-year-old was able to start the season completely fit owing to pre-season, but Erik ten Hag delivered some terrible news at his post-match press conference.
When questioned why Mount was pulled, Ten Hag replied, “It was coerced.” “He had an issue, he had an issue, and I did not want to take a chance. I am not sure how much of a worry that is right now.
“But we have got a solid bench. If you can bring Zirkzee off, do not hesitate; put in a guy who can make an impact, and we saw Josh perform well.” It is unclear how severe Mount’s injury is, but he is doubtful for United’s next encounter against Liverpool at Old Trafford next Sunday.
Brighton led 1-0 at halftime due to Danny Welbeck’s tap-in from Kaoru Mitoma’s cross, which may have pressured Ten Hag into making changes anyhow. Zirkzee, who scored the winning goal in the season opener against Fulham last Saturday, was called, and United leveled in the second half.
Amad ran in behind and equalised with a deflection before United thought to go up 2-1 through replacement Alejandro Garnacho. However, replays revealed that Garnacho’s shot struck an offside Zirkzee before crossing the line, prompting VAR to throw the goal out.
