Leicester City took the lead in the first half. In the second half, Joshua Zirkzee equalized 1-1. By the 90+4 minute, Harry Maguire headed to set the victory for Man United even though the center -back was offered.
Var is only applied from the 5th round of the FA Cup, so Maguire's goal has been recognized.
In a sense, the victory over Leicester City brings a familiar feeling since Sir Alex Ferguson, when the goals in the injury time was too familiar with Man United, along with a series of titles that the team The ball won.
"We have to trust ourselves until the last minute, but this match has nothing to do with Fergie's time. I think about the performance, we have to do much better when there is a ball, no ball.
We have no energy, especially in the first half. Later in the second half, we played a little better, played faster, won more balls and turned the situation.
The victory of Man United is a good result, not a convincing performance. I could not only focus on saving the season or maintaining the progress of the team with just one trophy. That's not the way I see football, nor the way I see Man United.
I did not think about the end of the season now, because the final took place at the end of the season. I don't care about that, I only care about the current moment of the team and that moment is not good enough, ”Ruben Amorim said after the match against ITV.
According to ESPN Global Research, Man United did not have any hit in the first half at Old Trafford, the third time this season they encountered this. Amorim's team played very deadly and only turned the situation in the second half thanks to timely adjustments.
Meanwhile, coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy of Leicester City said that the decision to recognize Maguire's offside goal is hard to accept.
He said: “We were not defeated by Fergie's injury time but lost because of a offside goal. It was half a meter, very clear in a straight line. It is difficult to accept because Leicester deserves more extra time and maybe a penalty shootout. At that time, I didn't know what would happen. ”
