Aston Villa fans are expressing frustration over a controversial decision involving Casemiro’s alleged offside in the build up to Manchester United’s first goal in their 2-1 win on Sunday. Rasmus Hojlund scored for Man United after a corner following a free kick from Luke Shaw where Casemiro deemed offside competed for the ball.
Despite the contentious situation, VAR couldn’t intervene due to the set piece initiating a new phase of play. Villa supporters voiced discontent citing poor set piece defending and a soft free kick. The defeat saw Villa slip outside the top four with Man United closing the gap to five points.
