Harry Maguire netted a contentious injury-time winner from an offside position, securing a 2-1 victory for Manchester United against Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round. The goal was validated because VAR was not in use. Leicester initially took the lead in the 42nd minute with a goal from Bobby De Cordova-Reid, which drew boos from the Old Trafford crowd at halftime. It took United 65 minutes to record their first shot on target.

Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane criticized United’s performance, stating they “look like a bunch of strangers.” He acknowledged the importance of the win but emphasized that the performance was far from satisfactory.

United escaped by the skin of their teeth,” he remarked. “While you have to commend them for progressing in the cup, their current form won’t suffice. The substitutes brought a change with their more direct play, but they must step up even further.”

Keane voiced his frustration at halftime, stating, “It’s shocking. Truly disappointing. No shots on target—they were dull to watch.

After the match, he highlighted the manager’s frustration with the team’s lack of energy. “No matter the tactics or confidence, you have to play with energy. Without it, the system doesn’t matter; you simply won’t compete.”

He also pointed out that Leicester had too many chances, implying that a stronger team would have taken advantage of United’s weaknesses. “We saw two struggling teams tonight. United were lucky.”
