Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has said he still has faith in the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), but added that there is no point in apologizing for the mistake made in the Manchester derby. Within three hours of the 1–0 defeat against Manchester City, refereeing body Pro Ref sent United a formal apology. VAR involved referee Matt Donahue and his assistant Blake Antrobus were not selected for this weekend's matches after they did not intervene in the game after seeing City midfielder Enzo Fernandez in a clear offside position, which led to Erling Haaland's winning goal. Carrick was extremely disappointed by the incident, saying it was a "worrying" interpretation of the rules.

Carrick was asked if he still had confidence in VAR, he said, "One-off mistakes can happen. It was a significant mistake at the time, we know that. I don't want to go into it too much. But yes, I have confidence in it. It's the system we work on and use."

Head of refereeing Howard Webb faced heavy criticism over general refereeing standards in the game. Analyzing the incident on the program 'Match Officials Miked Up', Webb said he was "really disappointed by the result", adding that the officials focused on a possible offside against Haaland and did not properly assess Fernandez's situation. He has discussed the situation with United to ensure greater responsibility.

Carrick said, "There's no point in apologizing. I can appreciate and respect that they said they were wrong – it happens. We just have to deal with it. Maybe we get one or two decisions on average, but that one decision has a big impact on the game and that's why it was particularly difficult."

Carrick favored one of the central defenders, Lenny Yarrow, although he was criticized for his disappointing performance in the 3–2 Carabao Cup win against Brighton. Yoro joined United when he was 18 and was linked with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool. The £52.2 million fee indicated that United's recruitment department had confidence in Yarrow's potential. But so far, it has been disappointing. The 20-year-old has featured in 55 Premier League matches, but has been a substitute in 25 of them. His only starts this season came against Sabah FK in the Champions League and against Brighton, when his status was questioned as the winners became the first team to win at Old Trafford after coming from two goals behind.

Carrick said, "I have no worries for Lenny. He has a fantastic future. Some players discover at the age of 18 that they can really perform. Sometimes it's at 22, 23, 24 when you see players develop. We have to look at that and certainly I wouldn't do that, to make snap judgments about some players just because of one match or one half or one moment. We Lenny has a lot of confidence.”

What will happen next

Manchester United are now preparing for their next match against Fulham in the premier league, where they need to win. Carrick is hopeful that his team will put in a positive performance despite the VAR controversy. After this defeat, United must do everything they can to improve their season's outlook.
