Erik ten Hag insists Manchester United were incorrectly denied a crucial goal in their defeat to Arsenal, claiming “everything” went against his side at the Emirates.
United were beaten 3-1 in an action-packed match in north London.
Marcus Rashford put the visitors ahead against the run of play midway through the first half before Arsenal immediately equalised through Martin Odegaard.
United thought they had scored a winner late on when Rasmus Hojlund, on debut, set up Alejandro Garncho to score.
But his goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review, despite one angle appearing to show the Argentine in an onside position.
Arsenal capitalised on their good fortune – Declan Rice putting them ahead from a corner well into added time before Gabriel Jesus sealed the win with a well-taken finish to send the home supporters into delirium.
Speaking to Sky Sports after full-time, Ten Hag struggled to hide his anger – claiming all the major decisions went against him team.
“You saw the game. It was not offside. Wrong angle,” said Ten Hag, who went on to claim that Hojlund should have been awarded a penalty.
“It was a penalty on Hojlund. And then we concede a goal where there is a foul on Jonny Evans, it’s so obvious.
“You can say ‘finish your chances and don’t concede a goal after you go 1-0 up’ – that’s true. But it is a step forward and I’m happy with the performance.”
“The performance was right. Everything went against us,” added the Dutchman.
