The PGMO has admitted Manchester United's second goal against Nottingham Forest should not have been given.
Referee Michael Salisbury decided to overrule VAR having been sent to the pitch-side monitor after the ball struck Bryan Mbeumo's arm in the build-up to Matheus Cunha's strike, which put United ahead in their 3-2 win on Sunday.
PGMO chief refereeing officer Howard Webb spoke to Forest and Man Utd on Monday to acknowledge the misjudgement.
The refereeing body regularly engages with clubs to maintain positive dialogue around refereeing matters.
English football tends to operate a more lenient approach to the handball rule after feedback from clubs, players, managers and fans.
On this occasion, however, the decision expected was to deem Mbeumo's contact as handball, hence the acknowledgment by the PGMO.

When you admit and error has been committed, may tou please make a correction on the points given to Man United. Make it a draw then, and let the teams share 1 point a piece. Otherwise, the PGMO' s intervention is of no use if it cannot correct the damage done.
