Manchester United news: Ralf Rangnick slams 'very unlucky' VAR decisions in Arsenal defeat
Manchester United suffered a third defeat in five games on Saturday lunchtime, as Arsenal secured a crucial three points in a 3-1 victory.
The Gunners took just three minutes to break down United's defence, with Nuno Tavares latching on to David de Gea's spilled save at the back post.
After Eddie Nketiah's goal after 30 minutes was ruled out for offisde, VAR instead handed Arsenal a penalty after they deemed Alex Telles to have fouled Bukayo Saka in the build-up - he then stepped up and converted it.

The result lifted Mikel Arteta's side into fourth in the table, while United's chances of qualifying for the Champions League look slimmer than ever, with Ralf Rangnick's side sixth and now six points adrift.
But following full-time, the German insisted that he was pleased with an "improved performance" following United's recent 4-0 drubbing to Liverpool.
