West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini said he is "sure" his side would have beaten Manchester United at Old Trafford had VAR been in place.


An under-par United won thanks to two Paul Pogba penalties, returning to winning ways after back-to-back defeats.

Pellegrini also said United's second penalty should not have stood because Anthony Martial, who was fouled by Ryan Fredericks, was offside in the build-up - although replays seemed to show he was onside.

"I am not complaining about the referee because they were not big mistakes, difficult mistakes, but with technology we have a different score," Pellegrini said.

"With VAR, I am sure we would win the game 1-0."

The Hammers deservedly equalised through Anderson shortly after half-time.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted his side "got away with it".

"They played better than us, it is fair to say, I don't think anyone will disagree," he added.
