Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer met with Premier League officials on Wednesday to discuss potential improvements to the VAR system. The meeting, which took place in Manchester, was attended by Premier League's head of football relations Simon Morgan and director of football Richard Garlick.
According to sources, Solskjaer had little to complain about, as Manchester United have avoided being on the wrong end of any controversial VAR decisions so far this season. The team was given two penalties against Norwich after VAR checks, and Marcus Rashford's goal against Liverpool was allowed to stand after VAR deemed there was no foul on Divock Origi in the build-up.
However, other Premier League managers have expressed their frustration with the VAR system. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp vented his frustration at VAR after Roberto Firmino had a 'goal' ruled out for offside during his side's win at Aston Villa on Saturday. Klopp has called for clarification about the current use of the system.
The meeting is also likely to feature discussions over the increasingly thorny topic of pitchside monitors. Monitors are widely used outside of the Premier League, but officials have yet to use them in any of the 110 top-flight matches so far.
The views of all managers will be digested ahead of any potential VAR policy changes to be considered at the next Premier League shareholders' meeting, which will take place in London on November 14.
