Harry's mixed view on VAR

Harry Maguire hopes VAR gets a partial reprieve.

With Prem clubs voting on its future next month, the Manchester United defender wants video assistant referees ditched for penalties and red cards but kept for offsides.

The England ace said: "I think it is going to divide opinion and a lot of people will want to keep it. Equally, the popular thing at the moment is to say get rid of it. It probably does need to be done better.

The automated offsides are coming in next season and that will improve it. It will make things quicker.

"Personally, I would keep VAR but for offsides only. I would scrap it for everything that is opinion based. Offsides are factual and not subjective.

"It is so difficult to lose a game on an offside goal when a player is two or three yards offside. Everyone makes mistakes, linesmen make mistakes, so that is why I would keep VAR for that.

"But I would not have it for red cards, or penalties because even now, people disagree if a decision is right or wrong."
