VARchester United? Utd have had most decisions overturned in their favour

VAR worked in Manchester United's favour on Sunday afternoon, with Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin seeing his goal ruled out as Gylfi Sigurdsson, who was lying on the ground, was deemed to have been offside by being in David de Gea's line of vision. 

As reported by ESPN, United have benefited hugely from the use of technology in the Premier League this season, with nine decisions going in their favour and just one going against them, giving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side a net score of +8.

Brighton have the next highest net score with +7, while Crystal Palace, Burnley and Southampton have also benefited hugely from VAR

At the other end of the scale, Sheffield United having a score of -6 having seen a host of decisions go against them, with Wolves, Norwich, West Ham and Chelsea also negatively affected by the use of VAR.

The first VAR incident involving United this season went against them, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal for Arsenal at Old Trafford in September, which was initially ruled out for offside, eventually being allowed to stand.

United got the first VAR decision in their favour on October 20 when Liverpool's Sadio Mane had a goal ruled out for handball.

Then on October 27 United were awarded two penalties against Norwich by VAR but missed both of them, with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial failing to score.

In December, as United took on rivals Manchester City, Solskjaer's team were given another penalty by VAR, with Rashford scoring on this occasion.

The following month Liverpool's Roberto Firmino had a goal disallowed after Virgil van Dijk was deemed to have fouled United goalkeeper David de Gea.

United benefited from VAR twice against Chelsea recently as Kurt Zouma and Olivier Giroud both had goals disallowed.
