'VAR got the better of me again' - Marcus Rashford furious after missing out on Man Utd record
- Rashford angry at VAR
- Goal cancelled against Reading
- Missed out on Man Utd record
WHAT HAPPENED? The England international came into the game with a goal in each of his last 10 games at Old Trafford. He even found the back of the net against Reading which would have helped him go past Dennis Viollets' record of scoring in the most consecutive games for the club at home, but VAR ruled the goal out for an offside in the buildup.
Rashford has since taken to social media to comment on the incident.
Unfortunately, VAR got the better of me again today. That's 3 times this season 😡 Breaking the record for consecutive goals at OT would have been incredible, but I'm proud to have equalled Dennis Viollets record ❤️ #MUFC

WHAT NEXT FOR RASHFORD? Rashford will be next seen in action against Nottingham Forest in the second leg of the FA Cup semifinal on February 1.
