The decision to rule out a Scott McTominay goal for Manchester United against Fulham was made because the on-field referee needed to judge whether Harry Maguire was interfering with play or not.
The Manchester United player Erik ten Hag is using as an example to his squad

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says he is using Scott McTominay as an example to the rest of his squad following his heroics against Brentford prior to the international break.
With United staring down the barrel of a defeat at home to the Bees McTominay came off the bench, scored twice and turned the game on its head. The Scotland midfielder has not had many opportunities since Ten Hag arrived at the club.
However, his performances for Scotland caught the eye during the international break and the United boss has been pleased to see the 26-year-old replicate that form for his domestic club. Speaking to MUTV prior to tonight's clash with Sheffield United, Ten Hag explained how McTominay's attitude was an example to his teammates.

"You will see it has given them confidence and energy [the victory over Brentford]," said Ten Hag. "But also in our last game, it gave us energy and in the game which we turned around, the togetherness with the fans, they backed us throughout the game.
"We were losing but they were very supportive and it was a great atmosphere in the stadium and also the team kept believing in a better result. We then brought Scott McTominay on and I think his attitude is a real example for everyone, to come on at such short notice, I cannot expect that every time a player comes on, that two minutes later he is scoring two goals.
"But that attitude is what we need and that is the example that we need to be a really good team, a really good squad, [and] a good dressing room to get the results in because it is not just about 11 players, it is about the squad."
