Barrenechea Montero: “Bruno Fernandes’ goal should have been disallowed”

In the opinion of former international referee Barrenechea Monterothe goal scored by Bruno Fernandes on Saturday, the first for Manchester United in their derby against Pep Guardiola’s City (a match that ended 2-1 in favor of the ‘red devils’), “had to be disallowed for offside by Marcus Rashford”.

Barrenechea Montero analyzed the controversial game like this: “It’s true that (Rashford) didn’t interfere, so the English VAR decided that Bruno Fernandes’ goal should not be disallowed and allowed. But, on the other hand, Rashford distracted two Manchester City defenders with his performance. And also the United striker makes a shooting threat, which also disturbs Ederson, goalkeeper of the ‘citizen’ team”.

The former international referee also added about the game of Bruno Fernandes’ controversial goal against City: “In fact, the defenders were confused because they think Rashford is going to shoot them. So even if Rashford didn’t touch the ball and Bruno Fernandes was from behind, I think the Portuguese player’s goal should not have gone on the scoreboard. It was very clear to me that Rashford was powerfully attracting the attention of the City defenders and disrupting the goalkeeper. Analyzing the entire play, it should have been annulled.”
