Fans believe they’ve figured out what Harry Maguire said to Kai Havertz following the penalty incident, and it’s quickly gone viral.

A heated confrontation unfolded during Sunday’s FA Cup third-round clash between Arsenal and Manchester United when an enraged Harry Maguire had to be restrained after confronting Kai Havertz.

 

With the score locked at 1-1, referee Andy Madley awarded a penalty after Havertz went down following apparent contact with Maguire’s outstretched arm. However, with VAR not in use until the fifth round, Maguire’s protests were ignored, sparking a chaotic melee at the Emirates.

 

Maguire, visibly furious, was seen shouting at Havertz, who was pulled away by his Arsenal teammates. Fans quickly speculated that the Manchester United defender called the German forward a “cheat.”

 

Reactions on social media poured in, with one fan saying, “Harry Maguire calling Kai Havertz a cheat. This referee has completely lost control. Maybe VAR isn’t so bad after all.” Another commented, “‘You cheating s***house’ from Maguire there. What a brilliant watch this is.”

 

A third added, “Maguire calling Havertz a cheat is spot on,” while a fourth noted, “Maguire wasn’t happy with the decision and called Havertz a cheat. The referee’s decision definitely raised questions—VAR could’ve made a difference.”

 

Another fan declared, “United should walk off the pitch. This is some of the worst officiating I’ve ever seen.”

 

Despite the delay, United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir denied Martin Odegaard from the penalty spot, keeping the sc

ore at 1-1.
