This Garnacho disallowed goal for Manchester United showed how thin the margins are in modern footy, with the drawn offside line having the Argentine offside by millimetres. Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes steps back just as the pass is played- you can see him in the picture below, and VAR, after taking a long look, decided that Garnacho was offside. A goal for him would’ve put Man United 2-1 ahead- MUFC end up losing 3-1 instead.
