Manchester United fans were left fuming after VAR ignored a potential penalty for a challenge by Chelsea’s Wesley Fofana on Marcus Rashford. The controversial incident in the 23rd minute sparked outrage on social media, as fans questioned the officiating and called for consistency in VAR decisions.

Manchester United fans expressed outrage after a controversial decision left them without a penalty during their Premier League clash with Chelsea. In the 23rd minute, United's Marcus Rashford attempted a pass across the box when Chelsea's Wesley Fofana executed a hard tackle, appearing to catch Rashford’s ankle. Despite the intensity of the challenge, VAR did not intervene, leaving fans furious on social media.

Several supporters took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their frustrations. Some fans argued that such a challenge would typically be considered a foul elsewhere on the field, but this instance was dismissed, sparking criticism of the officiating.

The match holds additional significance for United, currently struggling in the lower half of the table and undergoing managerial transitions. With Erik ten Hag recently dismissed, interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is attempting to stabilize the team before Ruben Amorim assumes control.

United's next opportunity to rebound comes in their upcoming Europa League fixture against PAOK, while Chelsea prepares to face Noah in the Europa Conference League.
