Manchester United had VAR to thank as an early Wolves goal was disallowed in the FA Cup third round replay.
Wolves thought they had taken the lead at Old Trafford after a shocking attempt at a cross-field pass from Fred was hit into United teammate Nemanja Matic and bounced into the path of Raul Jimenez.
The Mexican striker turned and nudged the ball into the path of Pedro Neto, who took a touch and fired past Sergio Romero.
However, a VAR review showed that as Jimenez turned away from the challenge of Harry Maguire, the ball bounced onto his hand and into the path of Neto. Jimenez knew nothing of the handball and his arms were in a natural position, but by the letter of the law, the goal was disallowed as there was contact with the hand.
The rule has been a controversial one throughout the season after it was introduced over the summer. So while United fans were obviously pleased not to fall behind, some were in acknowledgement that Jimenez did not knowingly handle the ball and felt the goal should have stood.
Crackers
Not a fan
Lucky
Wrong decision
Never handball
Should have stood

With Ashley Young's future in doubt, Solskjaer has placed his faith in Williams with Shaw suffering injury setbacks.
Williams, meanwhile, has excelled in his absence, with his energy down the left proving a real asset for the team.
Defensively, Williams has also impressed, slotting in seamlessly despite being just 19 years old.
When quizzed who should be Manchester United's first-choice left-back, Scholes revealed that he would side with Williams at the moment, underlining how impressive the teenager has been.
"You'd have to choose him (Williams) at the moment," Scholes told BT Sport ahead of United's FA Cup third-round replay with Wolves.
"I do like Luke Shaw but he just can't string a run of games, he can't get that fitness which he needs to play for Manchester United and be up and down the wing all the time. At the minute Brandon Williams is doing that so he is in pole position."
On Williams, Scholes added: "He's an excellent defender but he can also get forward as well. He's got quality, he's a talented lad and he'll get up and down the pitch.

The outlet is less than an hour from Manchester, just down the M62 in Huddersfield, so it pulls in bargain hunters from far afield.
Now is perhaps a better time than ever to give the place a visit.

As well as all babywear selling for £2, clothing accessories are being sold off for £1.
A post on the business's Facebook page alerted customers to the sale, starting from 9am today.
It says: "Starting at 9am tomorrow morning we have an unbelievable deal for you. All babywear £2!!! All clothing accessories £1!!!! Stock is limited and all items are non returnable."

They said: "We anticipate being very busy in store and most of the clothing will clear in the next two days so to avoid disappointment we would advise you visit sooner rather than later if you are able to, we are open 9-7 both Thursday and Friday and 9-6 Saturday and 10-4 Sunday."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-16--What Man City and Leroy Sane have to work out before summer transfer window

There was an air of resignation when Pep Guardiola discussed Leroy Sane 's future at Manchester City .
Where in summer the tone had been challenging , stressing that he did n't want any player that did n't want to be at the club , last week the talk was about how he can not control the different ambitions of footballers and people and what they want can change over three years .
That points towards a summer exit with German giants Bayern Munich waiting , but before then a very important four months awaits for City that Sane and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the player will be part of .
The Carabao Cup final comes up on March 1 if they can hold off United at the end of this month , beating Fulham will send them into the last-16 of the FA Cup and the Champions League has never felt more important with a huge tie against Real Madrid coming up .
City 's manager is delighted to have Sane close to recovery because it gives him the one thing he craves more than anything else : options .
Raheem Sterling , Bernardo Silva , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Foden all bring certain qualities on that left flank but none of them can quite offer the particular skills that Sane does ; in the right circumstances , the German is capable of being the matchwinner against any opposition .
However , what player and manager need to work out is how important a role he can play .
Coming back from a serious injury and having seen the complications that teammates have had in that respect , it is only natural that Sane exercises caution as he gets back to full match @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Munich when the winger was named in the starting lineup for the Community Shield back in August - the game where he suffered his problem - and having missed six months of his career as well as a potential move he will be cautious not to spend any more time on the sidelines .
At the same time , he is contracted to City - the club that have stood by him during his rehabilitation and would still like to extend his contract - for the next 18 months and it is Guardiola @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as he wants .
But the manager must assess the player 's state of mind and condition .
He has left stars out during his time at the Etihad if he feels they have not had the right attitude and if there are going to be Premier League games used to strengthen for next season it would seem counter-intuitive to use a player whose skills can not be directly replaced .
In an ideal world Sane will return without any complications from his injury and be able to give 100 per cent in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in summer happens .
The human reality , as the manager alluded to last week , is likely to be tougher to work out .

That points towards a summer exit with German giants Bayern Munich waiting, but before then a very important four months awaits for City that Sane and Guardiola need to work out how much the player will be part of.
The Carabao Cup final comes up on March 1 if they can hold off United at the end of this month, beating Fulham will send them into the last-16 of the FA Cup and the Champions League has never felt more important with a huge tie against Real Madrid coming up.
City's manager is delighted to have Sane close to recovery because it gives him the one thing he craves more than anything else: options. Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, Benjamin Mendy and Phil Foden all bring certain qualities on that left flank but none of them can quite offer the particular skills that Sane does; in the right circumstances, the German is capable of being the matchwinner against any opposition.
However, what player and manager need to work out is how important a role he can play.
Coming back from a serious injury and having seen the complications that teammates have had in that respect, it is only natural that Sane exercises caution as he gets back to full match fitness. There was some surprise in Munich when the winger was named in the starting lineup for the Community Shield back in August - the game where he suffered his problem - and having missed six months of his career as well as a potential move he will be cautious not to spend any more time on the sidelines.
At the same time, he is contracted to City - the club that have stood by him during his rehabilitation and would still like to extend his contract - for the next 18 months and it is Guardiola's right to play him as often as he wants. But the manager must assess the player's state of mind and condition. He has left stars out during his time at the Etihad if he feels they have not had the right attitude and if there are going to be Premier League games used to strengthen for next season it would seem counter-intuitive to use a player whose skills cannot be directly replaced.
In an ideal world Sane will return without any complications from his injury and be able to give 100 per cent in every game Guardiola needs before whatever happens in summer happens. The human reality, as the manager alluded to last week, is likely to be tougher to work out.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-16--Rio Ferdinand sends Liverpool vs Manchester United message to Marcus Rashford

Rio Ferdinand has pleaded with Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford to regain fitness in time for this weekend 's huge game against Liverpool .
Rashford was introduced as a second-half substitute in United 's FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves — which was won 1-0 thanks to a Juan Mata goal — but was forced off soon after .
Ushering Rashford on in place of Mason Greenwood was a decision that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted after the game had backfired .
`` Yes it backfired , '' the Norwegian told BT Sport .
`` You got to take them once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tested in the next few days - we have to see for Sunday .
He could n't run .
He struggled a little bit with his back and got another knock .
It did n't help . ''
Ferdinand , as well as tweeting praise for Brandon Williams and United goal scorer Juan Mata after the game , then tweeted about Rashford .
The former United centre-back clearly feels United 's chances of getting a result at Anfield on Sunday will take a significant hit if Rashford is unavailable .
Ferdinand tweeted : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emoji , before adding : `` Pls be fit for 4.30pm on Sunday . ''
United are the only team to have taken points off Liverpool this season , when Rashford 's goal helped Solskjaer 's side hold the Anfield club to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford .
Jurgen Klopp 's side look to be Premier League champions elect , with 20 wins from 21 games , and will be overwhelming favourites when the two clubs meet on Sunday .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-16--Cameras to be allowed in crown courts - but only for sentencing

Moves to allow TV cameras to broadcast judges ' sentencing remarks from crown courts for the first time have moved a step closer as draft legislation has been laid down in Parliament .
The Crown Court ( Recording and Broadcasting ) Order 2020 would allow High Court and Senior Circuit judges to be filmed as they hand out penalties in criminal cases .

Amanda Pinto QC, chairwoman of the Bar Council, said: "This initiative will help people understand the realities of our criminal justice system.

Manchester United fans flooded Bruno Fernandes with messages on Twitter after the midfielder shared a picture with his followers on Wednesday night .

See you next week.
Confirmed.
That's better.
Stop teasing.

This man 'can't deal with conflict, doesn't learn from his mistakes and thinks he's always right'... he's in jail after committing more than 130 offences

A thug who slashed a man with a kitchen knife in the street following a furious bust-up with a woman about drugs has been jailed .
Daniel Hanson , 33 , left the man with injuries to his neck and face after the pair got into a fight when the victim confronted him with a hammer .
The fight only stopped when Hanson , from Smallbridge , Rochdale , dropped the knife and sat on a nearby wall .
The 9pm incident happened in May last year after a fallout over drugs between Hanson and a woman who lived at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heard .
The court heard a neighbour was outside smoking when he heard shouting .
He said he saw the woman run out and hide .
Helen Longworth , prosecuting , said : `` The defendant followed her out , staggering , carrying a bottle of gin and began shouting abuse at [ the neighbour ] .
`` [ The neighbour ] said the defendant was trying to get around him to get to her .
He then pushed the woman into his own house out of harms way .
`` The defendant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m getting some of my stuff ' and then went back into her house .
`` A short time later , he came out carrying a black TV and a knife .
[ The neighbour ] went over to him and managed to calm him down and after a couple of minutes ranting by Hanson , he started to walk away .
`` Another neighbour , Mr Platt , had been watching the incident nearby and began to approach .
`` The defendant was shouting at him when it became clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ began swearing at Mr Platt and a fight ensued between them .
`` Both ended up on the grass area in front of Mr Platt ’ s house .
The hammer had come into contact with the defendant 's head and the knife came in to contact with Mr Platt ’ s nose , ear and neck .
`` The defendant eventually released the knife and went to sit on a wall , where he was later arrested .
`` He was intoxicated and was taken to the Royal Oldham Hospital , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doesn ’ t mention anything of having a hammer or anything of the fight . ''
In a statement , the neighbour said : `` This incident has affected both me and my wife as we live in the area .
I am conscious of people visiting that address and it makes me fearful living here .
Visitors come and go quite often .
`` I sleep downstairs to keep an eye out and it ’ s affected my marriage .

`` I feel like I can ’ t live there anymore .
I am worried about this kind of thing happening again , I feel scared and I ’ m living in anxiety .
I don ’ t want to live there anymore . ''
Hanson , who gave no comment in police interview , pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm ; possession of a knife ; and affray .
He had 131 previous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disorder ; theft ; breaching court orders ; battery ; possession of cocaine ; assaulting a police officer and common assault .
In mitigation , defence lawyer Robert Lancaster said : “ At the time of the original shouting in the street , Mr Platt had been observing what was going on .

This is the first violence offence that wasn ’ t a domestic violence , and he doesn ’ t see himself as a violent person .

He was inebriated during the argument .
He says if he usually drinks , there is a normal level of pushing and shoving .
When he comes out of custody he intends to work with his father . ''
Sentencing Hanson to 20 months in prison , judge Mr Recorder Geoffrey Lowe told Hanson : `` There was an incident when you were arguing about drugs and the woman fled , and she sought refuge with [ a neighbour ] who shielded her from you at that time .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ with alcohol and drugs , and you had in your possession , a bottle of gin .
`` You issued threats and he took the view that she needed protection so he allowed her into his house , which is what she did .
`` You returned to her house and when you emerged you had a TV and a knife .
It was a domestic knife with a significantly large blade .
Mr Platt , another neighbour , was nearby .
`` You emerged armed with a knife , the possession of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extremely serious .
What followed is what usually happens , the knife was produced and you were slashing around with it .
`` Fortunately for you , the injuries were relatively minor .

`` The pre-sentence report deals with your inability to deal with conflict , not learning from your mistakes and thinking you are always right .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-16--Manchester United to be offered Edinson Cavani transfer

Manchester United will be offered the chance to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani for free in the summer — but have been told he 's not available this month .
Having missed out on the signing of Erling Haaland , who moved from RB Salzburg to Borussia Dortmund at the start of the January window , United still covet a striking addition .
They have , however , prioritised midfield acquisitions due to key injuries to Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay .
Negotiations are still ongoing for Sporting Lisbon playmaker Bruno Fernandes , while MEN recently reported Ole Gunnar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signing , with Marcos Llorente a possible short-term arrival to cover for injuries .
United considered 33-year-old Mario Mandzukic as a replacement for Romelu Lukaku in the summer , while Cavani , 32 , has also been offered to United as the club ponder a move to bolster their striking ranks .
But MEN Sport understand that Cavani wo n't leave PSG in the January transfer window as the French capital club value the player at £30million .
The Uruguay striker is not expected to sign a new deal at the Parc des @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave at the end of the season .
Sources close to the striker have told MEN Sport that a United move is a 'possibility ' in the summer , with Chelsea and Atletico Madrid also cited as interested parties but there is nothing from club sources to indicate whether United would take up the offer to sign him .
United did look at the possibility of signing Cavani in 2014 but a deal was not completed and he no longer fits the profile of current United targets .
Links to Chelsea and Atletico @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few days but PSG boss Thomas Tuchel said after a 4-1 win over Monaco on Wednesday night that he wanted Cavani to stay .
`` If there can be departures and arrivals in the group ?
It 's still possible in football , I ca n't say , '' Tuchel told Canal+ .
`` Cavani ?
We have to ask Edi the question .
He is injured .
He felt something in training and he could n't be there [ against Monaco ] .
If I want him to stay ?
It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have him , yes . ''
Cavani has found himself on the periphery at PSG this season following the arrival of Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan .
He 's only started four league games , scoring twice , and only played 40 minutes of Champions League action during the club 's successful group stage campaign .
The experienced Uruguay frontman has been prolific during his six and a half year stint in Paris , though , scoring 136 Ligue 1 goals in 168 starts .
