Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in X-rated touchline outburst
Ole Gunnar Solskjær called Harry Maguire’s disallowed goal ‘a load of f***ing nonsense on the touchline during
Manchester United’s win over Burnley on Tuesday evening.
Paul Pogba’s deflected strike in the second half was enough to secure a 1-0 victory for United, who now go
top of the Premier League ahead of Liverpool.

But United were unfortunate to not be ahead before half time as Maguire saw his back-post header ruled out
for a foul. The United captain brilliantly rose above Erik Pieters but referee Kevin Friend called playback
for a foul on the Burnley defender.
Subsequent television replays show that the decision was harsh on Maguire, who has scored just once in the
Premier League this season. And according to multiple reporters who sat near United’s dugout at Turf Moor, Solskjaer
could be heard loudly describing the decision as ‘a load of f***ing nonsense’ after Maguire’s goal was chalked off.

effort as ‘perfectly good’ and says referee Friend had made a ‘mistake’.
‘Patience and having more composure was the key. We weren’t great in the first half-hour and then the VAR
sparked us into life,’ the United manager told BBC Sport.
