Manchester United went 1-0 down tonight against CSKA Moscow thanks to a controversial Alan Dzagoev goal. Manchester United players and fans were furious that the goal was allowed given the apparent off-side position of the goalscorer.
Manchester United supporters were not happy about the decision.
Man United should be battering CSKA Moscow, but they trail 0-1 at HT. Poor finishing from #MUFC & an offside goal awarded by the referees for CSKA...#MUNCSKA

Once again the extra official behind the goal working well in games! What is the actual point in them. Moscow boy offside right in front of him #WasteOfTime

However, it appears under UEFA's rules the decision was actually the correct one.
The rule does state that a player behind the goal line is still technically in play, thus Blind played him on onside.
Regardless, Manchester United were able to overcome the goal anyway, grabbing two quick second-half goals to turn the tie on its head.
