Hawk-Eye insists technical error was responsible for VAR offside confusion in Huddersfield vs Manchester United FA Cup clash

Hawk-Eye insists a technical error was responsible for the fact the lines shown during the latest high-profile Video Assistant Referee controversy were not straight.

The company also remains adamant that the match officials were given straight lines to make their decisions with, and not the same ones that were anything but and which were shown to those watching on television.

The VAR system and technology has again been criticised since Juan Mata had a goal disallowed, having been caught narrowly offside, during Manchester United's 2-0, FA Cup fifth round victory away to Huddersfield on Saturday.
