- Manchester United manager Michael Carrick labelled the VAR decision to allow Erling Haaland's winning goal in the Manchester derby as staggering and worrying for football.
- Referee Michael Oliver initially disallowed the finish before VAR official Matt Donohue overturned the call, ruling that Enzo Fernandez was not interfering with play.
- Defender Lisandro Martinez called the ruling unacceptable and an injustice, arguing that Fernandez's offside position prevented him from marking Haaland.
- Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca insisted the goal was completely clear and correctly awarded by the officials.
- Maresca also argued that Bruno Fernandes should have been sent off alongside Phil Foden, who received a 23rd-minute red card for kicking out at the United captain.
