Forest ace Gibbs-White fumes after Man Utd FA Cup defeat

Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White appeared to take issue with the match officials after his team lost in the FA Cup.

Gibbts-White and his teammates were beaten 1-0 by Manchester United at the City Ground.

As the Red Devils moved into the FA Cup quarter finals, Gibbs-White felt their winner should have been ruled out for a Raphael Varane offside.

Gibbs-White showed a social media photo comparing Varane's position when the kick was taken to that of Wataru Endo, who was given offside for a Virgil Van Dijk header in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Varane appeared to block the run of Felipe while being offside, but the officials did not believe it impacted the goal.

The logic indicated that Varane did not block a player that could have reached Casemiro, who scored, while Endo was judged to have stopped a Chelsea player from engaging with Van Dijk for his header.
