Harry Maguire's stoppage-time header sealed Manchester United's FA Cup victory over Leicester City, but manager Ruben Amorim admitted the goal was offside. Leicester City led through Bobby Decordova-Reid, but Joshua Zirkzee equalized before Maguire's disputed winner. Despite the result, Amorim criticized his team's performance while Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy expressed his frustration at the controversial decision.
Harry Maguire's stoppage-time FA Cup winner got Ruben Amorim out of jail. But the brutally honest Manchester United boss admits the goal shouldn't have stood. Struggling United's season could've gone from bad to worse at Old Trafford on Friday night after Leicester City stormed into a first-half lead through Bobby Decordova-Reid.
Amorim had huge sympathy for the visitors, and despite edging through into the next round, the Portuguese gaffer bemoaned yet another lethargic display from the fallen English giants. In a candid assessment, he said: 'The goal was offside. We should have VAR. It should be here to overturn the decision. It's hard on the opponent, it's hard on Ruud. 'But in the second-half, we managed to change the game a little bit. But the performance.. we were poor in this game.
