WHAT HAPPENED?

It has been widely reported that Premier League clubs look set to back the continued use of VAR. Two unnamed clubs in the division have also indicated their support for the technology to PA, while Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is in favour of ironing out flaws in the system. The Dutchman said: “I don’t think there is a way back. So, in principle it makes the football more fair but there are some problems. I think we have to find solutions for those problems, so we have to make improvements.”

A mistake in communication between on-field referee Simon Hooper and Darren England on VAR caused chaos back in October.

So the focus will be on improving the Premier League model rather than extending the video replay influence, with semi-automated offside decisions set to come in which should speed up the whole process.
