Harry Maguire netted a contentious injury-time winner from an offside position, securing Manchester United a 2-1 victory over Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round. The goal stood because VAR was unavailable. 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. United struggled to find their rhythm, managing their first shot on target only after 65 minutes.

Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane criticized Manchester United’s performance, remarking that they “look like a bunch of strangers.” While he recognized the significance of the victory, he stressed that the overall display was far from satisfactory.

United escaped by the skin of their teeth,” he said. “While you have to commend them for progressing in the cup, this kind of performance won’t suffice moving forward. The substitutes brought a more direct approach, but they need to step up even further.”

Keane voiced his frustration at halftime, stating, “It’s shocking. Truly, really poor. No shots on target. They were dull to watch.

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

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