Villa goal was disallowed cos Jacob Ramsey was offside when the cross came in, and then challenged an opponent (Edinson Cavani).

Play restarted with an indirect free-kick for the offside offence.

If disallowed for impeding with contact, restart would have been a DFK. #MUNAVL
Not sure why it took the VAR, Darren England, so long to get to the decision.

It seems he wanted to find a factual offside offence, when the subjective offside offence was quicker and more straightforward.

Michael Oliver was excellent in explaining this to Tyrone Mings.
This is the section of the offside law that applies.

Edinson Cavani was tracking the runner who then created the goal. You do not have to think Cavani WILL win the ball, only that it impacts on his ability to challenge for it.

#EyeTestTime - Thoughts on a few GW6 games

#MCICHE
- Foden played as a false 9. KDB at left mid and Bernardo right mid. Bernardo played a bit deeper. Foden took corners from the right and KDB from the left. Their attack is much better with KDB in it (obviously)...
... Jesus first choice on the right now, I think. Jack growing in confidence. Played brilliantly and could have had 2 goals.
- Chelsea played an extremely low block. 5-3-2 formation. Think Timo is preferred in the big games when Chelsea play on the counter
#MUNAVL
- Bruno shared direct free kick with Ronaldo. Bruno on pens. United had enough opportunities to win. But, bad decisions in the final third let the team down. United still struggling in defensive transition.
- Villa set-piece routine innovative. Will score a few goals.

Man Utd 2 vs 1 Aston Villa — Tactics #MUNAVL #MUFC
One paper, it looked like United lined up in a 4231 however that was not the case on the pitch. OGS always like to use a hybrid of 2-3 formations in the different phases of the game. United in this case used 4-2-2-2 in possession which, in the final phase became a 4-2-4. #MUFC
Pogba was used wide left and Fernandes wide right as a 10 double pivot but the wide forwards. It is difficult to call Martial and Rashford STs in this game as the move wide a lot ( Hybrid Wingers/Wide forwards) & interchanged with Pogan and Fernandes. You'll see below. #MUFC
