Keith Hackett says VAR should have flagged Leny Yoro challenge in 4-4 draw

Former FIFA referee Keith Hackett believes VAR should have drawn referee Chris Kavanagh’s attention to a challenge by Manchester United defender Leny Yoro during their 4-4 match against Aston Villa.

The incident occurred in the 71st minute, when Yoro made heavy contact with Johan Manzambi while contesting the ball. Kavanagh did not award a foul.

However, Hackett does not believe Yoro acted deliberately. In his view, the defender was attempting to play the ball but did so recklessly.
