0

Harry Maguire scored a late winner to complete Manchester United’s comeback and secure their place in the 5th round of the FA Cup.

Ruben Amorim’s blushes were spared as his Manchester United side came from behind to defeat Leicester City 2-1 at Old Trafford on Friday night.

The visitors took the lead through Cordova-Reid from a rebound after Wilfred Ndidi’s shot was saved by Andre Onana just few minutes before half time.

United offered no response or threat in attack and boos were ringing around Old Trafford at halftime as the United players walked into the dressing room looking shell-shocked.

However, The Red Devils kicked-off with more energy and fire at the start of the second half and the hosts pushed Leicester back, as they searched for an equaliser.

Their goal finally came through substitute Joshua Zirkzee, who side-footed into an empty net after Rasmus Hojlund’s skillful effort was blocked.

Manchester United’s push for a winner finally paid off and they were rewarded when Harry Maguire headed home a wonderful free-kick delivery by Bruno Fernandes in the 93rd minute.
