Jamie Carragher finally demands VAR is SCRAPPED after controversial Man Utd decision
The video assistant referee (VAR) intervened three times during Manchester United’s 4-3 Champions League loss in Denmark – leaving Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag unimpressed
Jamie Carragher has called for VAR to be scrapped after Manchester United’s 4-3 loss at Copenhagen on Wednesday – labelling one decision a “disgrace”.
Three key calls in the Champions League game were made following a VAR review. Marcus Rashford was sent off in the 42nd minute for wrapping his studs around Elias Jelert’s ankle, while both teams were awarded penalties for handball in the box.
United stormed into a two-goal lead thanks to Rasmus Hojlund’s brace. Rashford’s red card was then followed by two Copenhagen goals on the stroke of half-time, with former Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi and Diogo Goncalves both scoring.
A VAR decision went in United’s favour in the 69th minute, allowing Bruno Fernandes to restore their lead from the spot. Yet Copenhagen snatched all three points late on after Lukas Lerager and 17-year-old substitute Roony Bardghji found the net.

All three VAR decisions caused a debate on social media, with Carragher getting involved. The Liverpool legend couldn’t believe United were awarded a penalty and immediately wrote on X: “The game has gone! Get rid of VAR, that’s a disgrace.”
Carragher also thought Rashford was unlucky to be sent off for his challenge. The CBS Sports pundit added: “No way is that a red card for Rashford! Hate these slow-motion replays and still images that make everything look 10 times worse.”
United boss Erik ten Hag blamed the defeat on Rashford’s dismissal. He told TNT Sports: “Do you have one hour (for me to explain everything)? I think first we played very well until the red card. The red card changed everything. Then it becomes a different game.”
