Former Premier League referee Mike Dean believes VAR was right not to overturn Nottingham Forest's red card at Old Trafford because there was too much doubt surrounding Willy Boly's covering position.
Joe Worrall saw red midway through the second half after he was adjudged to be the last man as United attacked. However, there was some uncertainty following Stuart Attwell's decision because Boly looked like he could have been covering his centre-back partner.
If Boly was deemed to be in a position to cover, Worrall would have been given a yellow card. VAR reviewed how close the Ivorian was and ultimately decided it was the right decision.
