Harry Maguire in an offside position, but without VAR, the goal generated controversy.

Last Friday, Manchester United defeated Leicester City 2-1 in the fourth round of the FA Cup. After the equalizing goal by Joshua Zirkzee, Harry Maguire scored the winning goal in the last minute. Despite being in an offside position when he scored, the goal was validated since there was no review by VAR, which caused controversy. The coach Rúben Amorim stated that the goal should have been disallowed.

How to say that?

After the match, Rúben Amorim commented: "That goal was indeed offside. The VAR should have intervened to overturn the decision. This was unfair to the opponent and also difficult for Rude. But in the second half, we managed to adjust the game a bit, even without a good overall performance, we showed more spirit and energy. Some players who came in helped a lot and, in the end, we achieved a good result."

Overall, the manager of Leicester, Rudi Van Nistelrooy, was very upset about the goal, and he had good reasons for it. His team lost the chance to compete in the fifth round of the competition. Although Manchester United risked being eliminated under Amorim's direction, they managed to turn the game around in the final minutes and kept their spot in the FA Cup.
