Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca says he understands the difficulties VAR officials face after City benefit from a clear error in a 1-0 win over Manchester United. Speaking after the match, he argues that mistakes can happen as part of football and that referees and VAR staff are not immune to errors.
Both outlets report that Maresca offers support rather than blame, emphasizing that it is not easy for officials and that errors can occur during games. The focus remains on his reaction to the VAR incident, with his comments framing the controversy as a broader challenge of decision-making rather than a personal grievance. The reporting aligns on the result (City’s 1-0 victory) and the key point that City’s advantage is linked to an acknowledged VAR mistake.
