Premier League with no VAR: Where Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool and others would rank

A look at the Premier League without VAR to see where Manchester United and Manchester City would rank.

Manchester United and Manchester City have struggled to match the standards set last season so far this term, but where would they be without VAR? Erik ten Hag has come under real pressure this season, failing to make the most of the money spent during the summer transfer window, while City have work to do to protect their title.

The Red Devils head into the FA Cup weekend outside the top seven and as many as nine points outside the top four, while City are five points off top spot with a game in-hand. But where would the two clubs be if VAR didn't exist? We have taken all the decisions related to goals made in the Premier League this season and gone with the decision made on the pitch to see where each team would rank without VAR. Take a look below to see where City and United rank.
