Leicester City faces FA Cup exit after controversial Manchester United win

Manchester United's late stoppage-time winner, scored by Harry Maguire, sparked controversy during their FA Cup match against Leicester City, with Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy expressing his fury over the goal that should have been disallowed for offside. Van Nistelrooy criticized the absence of VAR in the early rounds of the competition, arguing that it could have prevented the crucial refereeing error that led to his team's elimination. He referred to the situation as 'offside time' rather than the famous 'Fergie-time,' indicating that the decision was unjust and unacceptable. The match saw Leicester initially take the lead, but United's late comeback raised concerns about their overall performance consistency under manager Ruben Amorim. Both teams have struggled to find form, with Leicester failing to improve significantly since van Nistelrooy took charge, highlighting the challenges facing both coaches. The controversy surrounding the officiating decisions has reignited discussions about the role of VAR in maintaining fairness in football competitions.
