Man Utd get helping hand from the most insane PL rule 🖐️

Manchester United have made short work of their Premier League home opener against Ipswich Town but it's not been without a dose of controversy.

Bruno Fernandes struck a hat-trick to give Michael Carrick a first top flight victory of the campaign after they slipped to defeat on the opening weekend at Hull City.

But the Red Devils were gifted the lead in the second half by a strange ruling after Harry Maguire appeared to handle the ball in the build-up to his deflected finish.

The goal was allowed to stand for a lesser-known reason given by the Premier League's Match Centre shortly after Carrick's side took the upper hand.

Two games in, have we already seen the most bizarre decision this season?
