Breaking News: PGMOL Have Been FORCED To Apologise After THREE Manchester United Goals Were Wrongly Disallowed Against Man City
Manchester United found themselves back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after the Manchester derby, with refereeing decisions once again dominating the conversation. Professional Game Match Officials Limited reportedly issued an apology following the controversial disallowing of three United goals against Manchester City. A post-match review by the Football Association is said to have admitted significant mistakes by the officials, reopening long-running debates about consistency and accountability in Premier League refereeing.
Away from the officiating storm, attention has turned to changes on the pitch, particularly the revival of Kobbie Mainoo. Club legend Rio Ferdinand has pointed out a clear transformation in the young midfielder since Michael Carrick took over as interim manager. Under former boss Ruben Amorim, Mainoo struggled for minutes despite his reputation as one of United’s brightest academy products, managing just 12 league appearances as tactical choices pushed him to the sidelines.
That narrative shifted following Amorim’s dismissal. Carrick’s arrival brought a reset, and Mainoo was quickly restored to prominence, earning his first Premier League start of the season in the derby. Ferdinand believes the improvement is tactical rather than personal, arguing Amorim’s system never suited Mainoo. Carrick’s more flexible setup, particularly in midfield, has allowed the youngster to flourish, symbolising a renewed balance and clearer direction at Old Trafford.
