The Chelsea boss highlighted the number of calls that have
gone in United's favour and Solskjaer has clapped back ahead
of the FA Cup semi-final
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hit back at claims Manchester United
have been lucky this season with the number of VAR decisions
that have gone in their favour.
Seven goals that had originally awarded against United have
been overturned, the joint highest in the division, and it has led
to claims referees are favouring Solskjaer’s side.
Frank Lampard admitted he has concerns that United are getting
a run of VAR decisions ahead of the FA Cup semi-final clash at
Wembley on Sunday, but Solskjaer refuted any suggestion his
side were being favoured and named three examples of
decisions which could have cost them.
I can sit here for hours now and try to talk about this.”
Solskjaer said. “It looks like there's a narrative, it looks like
people want to influence whoever's making the decisions. I hear
people talking about luck, that we've been lucky more than
unlucky.
“If you look at the factual decisions, I don't want to sound like a
certain manager talking about facts, but if you're offside, you're
offside. That's clear. Talking about lucky, the penalty we got
against Tottenham in the last minute that was taken away from
us, that might be two points for us.
“Talking about the red card Romeu should have had against us
when he almost got Mason Greenwood crippled, that should've
been a red card, maybe that would've helped us.
“Talking about Mark Noble when he should have been sent off
against us when we lost at West Ham, talking about the actual
decision that is made that is against Man Utd but is overturned
and corrected.
“So it's actually me that should be complaining that we get
decisions against us on the pitch by the on-pitch referee.”
The United manager admitted he also wasn’t concerned that
Mike Dean and Michael Oliver, referee and VAR controller on
Sunday, repsectively, could be influenced by the comments
made about his side this week.
“There's a narrative there but we have to focus on our games.
We let other people talk about that, I don't want to go too much
into it because I might be in trouble,” Solskjaer said.
“I hope I'm not now! I'm pretty relaxed on these and refs are
going to be making objective decisions and are not going to be
influenced by any emotion in any way, so I don't think they'll
read [what Lampard said]
Solskjaer confirmed Luke Shaw is set to miss the Wembley
clash with an ankle injury he picked up in the 2-2 draw against
Southampton, while Brandon Williams could return after missing
the win against Crystal Palace with an eye injury.

It's a pity, Chelsea should blame themselves if they miss Top 4.

Var or no Var, it all comes down to converting your chances...
