Manchester United’s FA Cup tie vs. Fulham Tomorrow will be the first anti -automatic offside technology (Saot) in Old Trafford.
Red Devils welcomes Cottagers for the second time in the cup in a cup on Sunday afternoon.
In the campaign where the home side league form is much lower than expected, I hope Ruben Amorim will be as far as possible in the remaining cup competitions.
But one aspect of the game is historical for English games and Old Trafford.
sun “The FA Cup 5th round will be used for the first time in the semi -automatic offside, so it will produce history in British football.”
“Seven of the eight FA Cup 5th rounds will use new technologies to speed up the VAR off side decision -making process.”
Preston vs Burnley will be the only fixed object that does not use the source because the tie does not occur at the Premier League point. The technology won 2-0 in Cardiff City in Aston Villa.
Theoretically, this technology must speed up the decision -making process when deciding whether the player is off -side or not.
“Technology uses a tracking camera to help the referee know when the player is offside.”
The biggest advantage is that instead of drawing a line on the image, it will be plugged into the player of the offside position.
“Saot It’s already been used in two World Cups (Qatar 2022 and Australia and New Zealand 2023) since the Champions League since the 2022-2023 season, Serie A after January 2023. ”
United fans would have been satisfied with the fact that if the late winner of Harry Maguire had Var or Saot in place, it was not used in the last round when the offside was almost clearly excluded.
