(VIDEO) Why the referee didn´t call the handball of Wolves defender against Manchester United?

Manchester United officially kicked off their season at Old Trafford against Wolverhampton in a Premier League match. Erik Ten Hag's team debuted its two new signings in Mason Mount and Andre Onana, but the reality is that the club did not play the perfect game. However, the first half was marked by a controversial action.

Marcus Rashford was Manchester United's reference in attack. The English striker has established himself as one of the club's top scorers in recent years and after Hojlund's injury, Ten Hag relied on Marcus Rashford as center forward. At his sides, Garnacho and Jadon Sancho were selected by the Dutch coach.

Manchester United only managed to finish with 8 shots, but only one of them was on goal. However, towards the end of the first half, an important header from Marcus Rashford was stopped by the hand of defender Nelson Semedo. An action that the referee did not stop to review.

Why was Semedo's action not handy?

Curiously, the referee did not consider that Semedo's hand should be sanctioned. Something that the VAR also considered. This is due to the fact that it was an unintentional move by the Portuguese and that when it came to impact, he had a large part of his arm glued to his body. However, it could be reviewed, because it stopped the trajectory of the ball at the goal.
