FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Manchester United Vs WestHam and this have cost them thier Job. 📸 – Always remember that West Ham and VAR are family 🤧Justice for Manchester United 💪We are glad now that justice has now been given out 🥲🌚, This is a lesson to other Corrupt Referees.

Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, openly criticized the Premier League’s VAR system after a contentious penalty decision led to his team’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham. Ten Hag questioned the process behind the decision, which saw VAR official Michael Oliver suggest a review of a collision between United’s Matthijs de Ligt and West Ham’s Danny Ings. Initially, on-field referee David Coote allowed play to continue, but after the review, he awarded West Ham a late penalty, which Jarrod Bowen converted in the 92nd minute, marking United’s fourth loss this season.

The Premier League’s Match Centre justified the review, citing sufficient contact on Ings’ leg. However, Ten Hag felt that the ‘referee’s call’ guideline, meant to favor on-field judgments in close cases, was misapplied. United fans shared his frustration, feeling the intervention unfairly shifted the game in West Ham’s favor.

“Football isn’t always fair, and today showed that,” Ten Hag expressed, visibly exasperated. “VAR should step in only for clear errors, yet it interfered here in a debatable situation, costing us the game. This isn’t an isolated incident—it’s a pattern. Against Spurs, no VAR intervention occurred during a crucial call that went against us, but today it overturned a marginal one.”

Ten Hag clarified that his frustration was with the VAR process itself, not the officials personally. He criticized the lengthy review process, noting that Coote took three minutes to decide. “In high-stakes moments, there has to be the confidence to make the correct call. The VAR system needs improvements, but those managing it must be willing to make decisive choices when it counts.”

Adding to the disappointment, United’s offense struggled to capitalize on multiple opportunities. Diogo Dalot missed an open goal, and the team hit the crossbar twice, squandering several promising chances. Crysencio Summerville put West Ham ahead in the 74th minute, and despite United’s offensive pressure, they failed to score. With just eight goals across nine league games, United’s finishing troubles are evident.

Reflecting on the missed chances, Ten Hag stated, “We played impressive football, especially in the first half, with the control and fluidity I expect. We structured our attacks well, breaking down the defense and creating numerous chances. But finishing was missing. When you generate quality chances, you must stay composed to finish.”

Despite the officiating frustrations, Ten Hag acknowledged his team’s performance, saying, “Beyond the finishing, I have few critiques of how we played. Our challenge is to find calmness in front of goal. If we keep this approach, the goals will come. Patience and consistency are key to improvement.”

The controversial loss to West Ham has intensified the scrutiny on Ten Hag as United struggles with a slow season start. For Ten Hag, it’s clear that he believes questionable officiating has hindered his team’s progress. Whether fans and the board will continue to back his approach may depend on United’s ability to convert their on-field dominance into goal
