With Haaland’s goal settling the match, United were unsurprisingly disappointed by the decision.<\/p>\n
“I think it was offside,” said Martinez. “And what I can’t understand is the rules. I want to be calm now, I want to control myself. <\/p>\n
“It’s so hard because you lose a derby, you lose three points at home, and every season they’re [referees] coming to our club, they explain for one hour the rules, and they look so confident with that, and then after [there are] five or six people doing these kind of mistakes in the Premier League – it’s unacceptable.<\/p>\n
“It’s the best league in the world, you have the best teams in the world, the best players in the world, and now we have to go home with this injustice.”<\/p>\n
United boss Carrick also expressed his confusion.<\/p>\n
“We put things in place in the game now, we have people in offices with all the screens for this decision,” he said. <\/p>\n
“It’s more worrying about if that’s the interpretation of football now. If that’s the interpretation of not interfering in the game now, that’s really worrying for me. It’s a staggering explanation.<\/p>\n
“The decision isn’t going to change the season, but it’s had a major impact on the game.”<\/p>\n
Wayne Rooney, part of the BBC’s MOTD2 team, said: “Surely it’s offside. Martinez is impacted by Fernandez’s movement, and he is offside.”<\/p>\n
Gary Neville said on Sky Sports: “I think we’ll see some sort of apology from the referee’s association, there’s no doubt Fernandez is playing that ball and is trying to put off Martinez. I think it’s one they’ll recognising they got wrong.”<\/p>\n
Micah Richards added: “I think it’s been a bad day for referees. They got the Foden decision wrong and the Fernandez decision wrong. I think they got it so wrong but I don’t think it takes anything away from City’s performance.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, City boss Maresca said: “I think it was onside clearly so it’s good.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
