One other point would be that by being in that offside position, Onana shades to that side of the goal in case the offside player were to receive a pass. If that player is NOT there, is Onana more central in the goal? Subjective decisions.

That happened before the shot though, didn't it? Offside is decided after the ball has left the foot. What happened before is not relevant.

Well that settles this particularly stupid debate

Proof is never enough to stop a stupid debate!

OP has intentionally taken this screenshot from a few frames after the shot is taken because the player is moving across, probably still not really interfering but this screenshot isn't what VAR would be looking at

Yet Maguire gets flagged offside for being nowhere near the ball as well

He made an attempt to play the ball.

And doesn't get anywhere near it. That has never been given offside, ever.

Yes, it has. It literally happened in a Brentford game just a couple weeks ago. A player that attempts to play the ball is deemed to be interfering. I know you’re angry but please learn the rules.

He impacts the defender, challenging for the ball which is offsides.

Maybe not given offside vs you, but first time for everything. Rashford got away with this last season or the season before.
