VAR controversy strikes as fans claim Cavani was offside for Rashford's goal

Manchester United's later winner against West Ham left some debating whether the goal should have stood or not.

Anthony Martial played Edinson Cavani through and the Uruguayan put it on a plate for Marcus Rashford to tap it in at the far-post.

There was a VAR review to check if an offside player was involved in the lead up but the goal stood and United move up to fourth in the Premier League.

Fans took to Twitter to give their reaction. A United fan Tweeted: 'It seemed offside but I don’t think VAR were going to take that away. It’s like Cavani’s chip last season lol.'

Another fan added: 'Can someone tell me how Cavani was offside here? Or are we just acting like he was off because it was Man U?'.

'It’s not controversial. He’s on side,' claims another United fan.

However, others saw it differently and thought the United striker was offside. A Chelsea fan Tweeted: 'Marcus Rashford scores the winner against West Ham in the last minute of the game but surely Edison Cavani was offside in the buildup.'

A West Ham fan was left furious as he Tweeted: 'This league is so corrupt ffs. How did VAR not see Cavani was like 5 yards offside?!?! Fuming.'

'Is Cavani not offside or I am seeing things?,' a Liverpool fan asked.

The late goal sees Ralf Rangnick's men leapfrog the Hammers and into fourth for the first time since October.
