Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was less than pleased with Heung-Min Son’s reaction for a challenge from Scott McTominay.
Because of the South Korean’s theatrics, a wonderful goal was disallowed for Manchester United.
The VAR decision faced immediate criticism from fans but the Red Devils did walk away 3-1 winners.
“If that was my son and he stays down and he needs his mates to help him up, he doesn’t get food because that’s embarrassing,” Solskjaer said. “The game’s absolutely gone. If that’s a clear and obvious error, it’s an obvious error he had to look at it. It was a perfectly good goal.
“They are conned [by Son]. We weren’t conned, the referee was. Unfortunately, the referee decided we are not playing football or VAR decided probably. I’m absolutely shocked if that is a foul.”
Jose Mourinho slammed Solskjaer for his take on the matter. He said, “First of all, let me tell you something. I’m very, very surprised that after the comments that Ole made on Sonny, you don’t ask me about it.
“Because – and I told Ole already this because I met him just a few minutes ago – if it’s me, telling that player A, B or C from another club, if it was my son I wouldn’t give him dinner tonight, what would be the reaction of that? It’s very very sad.
“I think it’s really sad that you don’t ask me about that. It’s sad you don’t have the moral honestly to treat me the same way as you treat others.
“In relation to that, I just want to say that Sonny is very lucky that his father is a better person than Ole. I am a father. I think as a father you have always to feed your kids.
“Doesn’t matter what they do. If you have to steal to feed your kids, you steal. I’m very very disappointed. As we say in Portugal, bread is bread and cheese and is cheese.
“I told Ole already what I think about his comments and I’m very disappointed that in five, six seven questions you ignore the dimensions of that comment.”
