ERIK TEN HAG slammed the officials after Manchester United were denied a late winner against Arsenal.

Alejandro Garnacho thought he had won the game with minutes to spare – only for his strike to be disallowed for offside following a VAR review.

Erik ten Hag felt key decisions went against his side

Replays showed the winger was fractionally in front of defender Gabriel, but Ten Hag argued the wrong angle was shown.

The United boss also felt his side should have been awarded a penalty when Rasmus Hojlund was bundled over in the box.

While he claimed Declan Rice’s late goal should have been chalked off due to a foul on Jonny Evans, who deflected the midfielder’s strike into the back of the net.

Speaking on Sky Sports after the game, Ten Hag said: “It’s not offside [for the Garnacho goal], wrong angle.

“It’s a penalty on Hojlund, and then we concede a goal, it’s a foul on Jonny Evans so clear and obvious.”

Evans received criticism from United supporters when his second debut for the team went horribly wrong.

With the score at 1-1 and a hand in both Arsenal goals, the center-back replaced the injured Victor Lindelof.

He first deflected Rice’s shot out of Andre Onana’s reach before setting up Gabriel Jesus to turn Diogo Dalot and score the third goal for the Gunners.

After the game, Ten Hag explained that Jadon Sancho did not exercise well enough, which is why he was not included for the matchday squad.

Ten Hag said of the winger: “On his performance on training we didn’t select him. You have to reach the level every day at Manchester United. You can make choices in the front line, so in this game he wasn’t selected.”

But Sancho hit back and denied claims his training level had not been good enough.

He said in a social media statement: “Please don’t believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue.

“I have conducted myself in training very well this week. I believe there are other reasons for this matter that I won’t go into, I’ve been a scapegoat for a long time which isn’t fair!

“All I want to do is play football with a smile on my face and contribute to my team. I respect all decisions that are made by the coaching staff, I play with fantastic players and am grateful to do so which I know every week is a challenge.

“I will continue to fight for this badge no matter what!”
