“Error of judgement.” 🤡 We’re not stupid. @prorefofficial
Haaland was initially flagged offside, then Matt Donohue confidently overturned it suggesting Enzo didn’t interfere. The wrong image was used and Haaland was STILL offside anyway.
These are supposedly elite officials with endless training. At what point does “incompetence” become suspicious?
Michael Oliver has previously been paid freelance by City’s owners to officiate in Abu Dhabi. Now questions have emerged over Matt Donohue’s connections to City’s ownership. Whatever happened to conflicts of interest?
City spent another £500m and had 0 shots on target outside the disputed goal, were dominated in midfield and repeatedly gave the ball away. Foden even lashed out in frustration, cowardly kicking Bruno in the balls.
Yet Oliver somehow found just 5 minutes added time despite the lengthy VAR checks, substitutions and City’s time-wasting after the red card.
@ManUtd cannot simply accept another “review” that ends with an apology and these officials continuing to referee Premier League matches.
This needs an independent investigation including conflicts of interest, background checks, financial links and the full decision-making process.
Enough of “mistakes”. We need transparency and accountability.

Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano🚨 OFFICIAL: Pro Ref confirm “an error of judgement” in Haaland’s goal — also informing Man United directly. “Following the incident in the 60th minute of Sunday's Premier League fixture between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford, we can provide clarification regarding Erling Haaland’s awarded goal. “The on-field decision was offside against Erling Haaland – that was checked by VAR and he was found to be in an onside position. “In the same attack, it was established that Enzo Fernandez did not play the ball and therefore that makes any offside offence subjective, however, on this occasion, the VAR did not recognise the likely impact of his position and should have recommended an on-field review. “Contact has been made with Manchester United this evening to acknowledge what we deem is an error of judgement. A review of the incident will take place.”
