There was A LOT of anger from fans tonight.

Manchester United and Huddersfield went head-to-head on Saturday in their FA Cup tie, with a lot of changes made to the Man Utd side following their loss to Newcastle the weekend previous. Mata was one of the starting eleven, and he managed to score and everyone celebrated and it would've put them 2-0 ahead. However, after turning to the Video Assistant Referee (or VAR), after what felt like an eternity, it was declared that Mata was actually offside, and the goal was disallowed. When they cut to footage of the VAR to show how Mata was offside... well, we'll let the viewers let you know how they felt about that... https://twitter.com/ChuBoi/status/964929459517210624 https://twitter.com/andygoldstein05/status/964927420716539905 https://twitter.com/LiamPaulCanning/status/964928166765694976 https://twitter.com/SimonThomasSky/status/964928384265543682 https://twitter.com/brucemillington/status/964927679488249862 https://twitter.com/markgoldbridge/status/964926987767832576 https://twitter.com/TaylorTwellman/status/964928274408198144 https://twitter.com/BeardedGenius/status/964929643068510209 https://twitter.com/arlowhite/status/964927829132619778 https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/964930760225456128 https://twitter.com/paddypower/status/964928800923574272
