Anthony Gordon said he does not understand the purpose of VAR after it failed to intervene and give Newcastle a penalty at Old Trafford.

The winger’s sock was ripped during Sofyan Amrabat’s first-half collision in the penalty area, but there was no VAR review.

Gordon was unhappy with fans at Stockley Park after his side’s 3-2 loss on the day it was disclosed Premier League clubs will vote on whether or not to use VAR.

‘It’s a clear, plain, and blatant error; I don’t see how you could get it wrong,’ he told Sky Sports.

‘Either get rid of it or get better. It’s quite simple.

Anthony Gordon felt he should have been awarded a penalty for a foul by Sofyan Amrabat

Gordon couldn’t believe he didn’t receive a penalty which could have given Newcastle the chance to go 1-0 upAmrabat’s tackle on Gordon’s Achilles caused a hole in the Newcastle player’s sock.

‘I don’t worry if the referee gets it incorrect on the field because things happen so rapidly. 

‘But I’m not sure what the purpose of VAR is, because it’s there to fix errors. He goes down my Achilles and pushes me in the back. I honestly don’t understand the purpose of it.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was more dissatisfied with his team’s defense.

‘We had opportunities, and I believed we could score at any time,’ he said. 

‘However, we lost the game because of how we defended our goals. We should hang our heads, truly. I think we did okay, but not in the crucial times.

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag claims Manchester United wants to retain Bruno Fernandes, despite the captain saying in a post-match interview, ‘I don’t want to be a player the club does not want to have. If they don’t want me, I’ll go.’

Premier League clubs will vote next month on whether to scrap VAR next season

It follows a recommendation made by Wolves following a handful of high-profile blunders this term.However, Ten Hag said, “Absolutely, the club wants to keep Bruno.” He is passionate about Manchester United, its supporters, and the opportunity to play for them.Despite his disabilities, he consistently gives his all and serves as an inspiration. It’s difficult when so many players surrounding him are injured and he’s expected to carry the squad. 

‘He maintains a decent level and, particularly in the spring, improves to a spectacular level.’
