The boss of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, once again criticized his players despite the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The Red Devils exceeded Leicester thanks to the last winner of Harry Maguire, but it was not without controversy.
The former central defender of Leicester hosted his head in the last seconds, but was in a clear offside position.
But without Var in use during the first rounds, the objective was held with the line judge, four players of United stood in a way in an offside position.
Amorim will win, but he admits that it was not a great performance at Old Trafford – a common theme of his post -match interviews this season.
He said, “We had to believe until the end, but this game has nothing to do with Fergie’s time. I think the performance, we have to do so much better with the ball, without the ball.
“We had no energy at first, especially in the first half. Then, in the second half, we played a little better, with a little more speed, winning the second balls. Then we managed to change things, which was a good result and not a good performance.
🗣️ “We are not defeated in Fergie. We are overcome in time offside. »»

“The coach is the first manager, when a team does not work, does not improve, it’s the coach but we are here to do things and see the game, to study the game and try to us Improve for the next match.
“I think these are the little things, if you see the games sometimes to control the ball, having the ball, do not give the ball in the first pressure. These are the little things, these are the big things, that’s all.
“It’s this moment, it’s difficult but above all at home, but we have to face it and we will try to do it the next game.”
The boss of Leicester, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, was perplexed with the decision and joked that his time had lost in “Offside Time”.
He said, “We are not defeated in Fergie, we are overcome in time offside.
“It was not necessary. Var that you have in a few centimeters, a few centimeters, it was half a meter, clear online. It was difficult to take because the team deserves to draw at the end. Then, more time, stay in the game, you never know what’s going on.
“It was a very good team performance, started very well, pressing United. On the very stable ball. Deserved to go 1-0 at halftime. Of course, we know that in the second half, they will put us pressure and chances but not as much.
“We deserve to spend additional time, to go for the battle in addition to time and perhaps penalties.
“Decisions like these at our level are difficult to swallow.”
