The annoying thing is though you can sit watching a rag game and predict what is coming up next, dodgy penalties and kicking fuck out of the opposition with impunity and any contentious offsides will only go one way. Strange isn’t it?
"See what you want to see loons"? That's a bit disrespectful. People are asking "How is that not offside?" That's a reasonable question to ask, given that the person who scored is clearly in an offside position when a United player plays the ball forward - see images.
Instead of answering "Err coz it wasn't", please explain why, under the current Laws of the Game, it wasn't given as offside.
@hilts I take your posts on board. Yes we as City fans go OTT about decisions in the rags favour, that is when I look to see what pundits and journalists say. Martin Keown called it a dive, whilst the match was still being played and on the BBC, others also said it was a dive.
The simple fact is they get decisions like that whilst other teams don't.

Casemiro is not active when the ball is clipped to Fernandes.
When he becomes active, he is behind the ball.
This isn’t my opinion; this is the laws of the game.

Thank you Colin, Mr Macawber would be shaking his head in disbelief at such behaviour.

Rinse,repeat.
I thought it offside at first though not from the phase of play you've highlighted. As the player your referring to was not the intended recipient of the pass and Fernandez (onside) was I think thats ok.. However I did think Casemiro might have been when Fernandez headed it back.... but maybe not."See what you want to see loons"? That's a bit disrespectful. People are asking "How is that not offside?"

The red card was a joke. There is no way whoever was pulled back was going to win that ball which was running away from him and quickly, plus there was a defender covering.... same shit, different day.
as brian clough said , if you arent active you shouldnt be on the pitch, also have you seen casemiro run, if hes in an onside position when that ball is played he never gets anywhere near that ball so arguably he gains an advantage by being there.
