Carrick Maintains Support for VAR Despite Manchester Derby Error

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick said he retains faith in the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system despite a controversial decision that he believes affected the outcome of his side's home defeat by Manchester City, according to BBC Sport.

Carrick's comments came after a Manchester derby in which a VAR intervention was widely reported as costing United in the match, though he did not call for the technology to be scrapped.

Despite the setback, Carrick expressed continued backing for VAR as a tool in football, according to BBC Sport, suggesting he views such errors as isolated incidents rather than reasons to abandon the system.

Further details of Carrick's specific remarks, including his assessment of the incident and its impact on the result, were not included in the available report.
