Wolves were not given a late penalty at Old Trafford because VAR declined to step in after Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana clashed with Sasa Kalajdzic; Gary O’Neil claims PGMOL’s Jon Moss apologized; Gary Neville and Karen Carney concur that VAR made a mistake.

After Wolves were denied a “blatant penalty” in their 1-0 loss against Manchester United, Gary O’Neil said Jon Moss of the PGMOL apologized to him.

Andre Onana, a rookie goalkeeper for United, avoided a penalty kick in stoppage time after colliding with Sasa Kalajdzic and failing to recover the ball. O’Neil was given a booking by referee Simon Hooper for objecting to Michael Salisbury’s lack of use of the VAR.

Raphael Varane’s winner 14 minutes from time caused Wolves to lose on opening night despite the fact that they had 23 shots on goal, the highest by an away team at Old Trafford since Chelsea in 2005.

O’Neil claimed in his post-game press conference that Premier League elite officials boss Jon Moss had sent him an apology.
