Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has denied VAR should've disallowed in his side's goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp protested after the game that Marcus Rashford's goal should've been scrubbed because Divock Origi was fouled in the build-up.

But Solskjaer says Origi wasn't brought down by Victor Lindelof.

"I thought the referee needs praising," Solskjaer told BBC Sport.

"It's not often we do that. He let it be a derby game, it wasn't like you couldn't touch anyone."

On the controversy surrounding the opening goal, Solskjaer added: "It's never a foul. I don't think Keano (Roy Keane) would say that's a foul."
