Manchester United Advances in FA Cup Amid VAR Controversy

In a dramatic FA Cup fourth-round match, Manchester United secured a 2-1 victory against Leicester City with Harry Maguire's last-minute header, which has sparked controversy due to his apparent offside position. Leicester's manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, expressed his frustration, stating they were defeated 'not in Fergie time but in offside time' as VAR was not available to review the decision. United struggled in the first half, failing to take a shot on target, but managed to equalize through Joshua Zirkzee before Maguire's late winner. Despite the win, United's performance drew criticism from their coach, Ruben Amorim, who acknowledged the need for improvement. Fans and analysts have reacted strongly to the officiating, with many feeling Leicester was unfairly robbed of a chance to extend the match into extra time. This incident has reignited discussions around Manchester United's historical reputation for getting favorable decisions late in games.
