Manchester United were left seething on Sunday after they lost a point thanks to a VAR decision against West Ham at the London Stadium.

United were on track to a frustrating 1-1 draw when Matthijs de Ligt caught Danny Ings inside the penalty area. Initially David Coote rejected the home side's appeals but was convinced to change his mind when VAR's Michael Oliver called him to the screen to reconsider.

Jarrod Bowen scored the resulting spot-kick in stoppage time to win the game for the Iron and condemn United to their fourth defeat in nine Premier League outings.

"First of all, in football not always the best team win and today it was clear and obvious and clear and obvious was not how the VAR worked, how they run their process," the Dutchman began in his press conference. "Before the season they explained the process of the VAR and only when it is clear and obvious then they should interfere.
