Rasmus Hojlund thought he had announced himself to Manchester United fans at Old Trafford when he found the net against Brighton – only for VAR rule his strike out due to a matter of inches.<\/p>\n

Marcus Rashford had beat his man, but he had taken an extra touch to push the ball towards the byline. As a result, Rashford slightly overran the ball, which went out of play by a couple of inches.<\/p>\n

Hojlund hadn't realised – and he turned the ball home before wheeling away in celebration. However, celebrations were quickly dimmed when it became apparent referee Jarred Gillett had ruled the goal out.<\/p>\n

"Another seven days of United fans drawing lines coming up," one fan joked. While a second shared: "Everyone knows it\u2019s to do with the perspective. That Hojlund goal should\u2019ve counted!"<\/p>\n

"Where\u2019s the technology they use in the World Cup," a third fumed. And another added: "One rule for Japan another rule for us, bring in the 3D VAR it\u2019s needed now more than ever!"<\/p>\n

United fans were able to get their first glimpse of the striker on Saturday, with Hojlund making his return to action for the Danish national side over the international break.<\/p>\n

And United fans booed Ten Hag when he decided to hook Hojlund in the second-half for Anthony Martial.<\/p>\n
