Harry Maguire saw his controversial goal knock Leicester City of the FA Cup in the fourth round on Friday.
Wilfred Ndidi impressed for Leicester City vs Manchester United on his first start for the club since returning from injury.
The midfielder dominated the Red Devils during the opening 45 and was key to Bobby De Cordova-Reid scoring after 42 minutes.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side, who have the second-worst defense in the Premier League this season, battled hard to keep their lead and clean sheet intact.
Caleb Okoli had arguably his best display in a Leicester shirt, which included making a goal-line clearance to deny the home team.
However, Joshua Zirkzee then equalised just minutes after the defender’s moment of brilliance.
The match looked set to end 1-1 and extra time was pending before Harry Maguire scored a later winner against his former club.
Harry Maguire gives verdict after offside goal sends Leicester City out of the FA Cup
It seemed obvious to everyone watching, apart from the linesman at Old Trafford, that the centre-back was offside when he scored.
This left fans wondering why VAR didn’t intervene with Maguire’s offside goal but it was because the technology, love it or hate it, is not set to be introduced until the fifth round.
Leicester fans were furious after losing to Man Utd and their ire is only likely to grow after what their former player has said.
Speaking to ITV post-match, Maguire gave his verdict on the match, which he thought had a ‘great’ finish.
He said: “A great finish to the game. The second half we played a lot better. The first-half was nowhere near good enough, we played at a slow tempo and we didn’t really get going. We probably deserved to go into half-time losing.
“I think the second-half we came out a lot bigger tempo, we dominated the game and it really felt like we were going to get that winner, it would fall to us and thankfully, I put it in the back of the net.”
What Ruud van Nistelrooy said after Harry Maguire goal cost Leicester City
Defeat has become synonymous with Leicester but, to their credit, they looked much improved on February 7th.
History will not remember it that way, however, and it’s another loss for the Dutchman.
Van Nistelrooy’s Leicester future was questioned post-match, with one pundit suggesting the offside goal could cost him his job down the line.
Meanwhile, Ruud commented on Maguire’s offside goal and seemed pretty annoyed.
He said: “This wasn’t about being beaten in Fergie time, it was about being beaten in offside time.
“VAR wasn’t necessary. That deals with centimetres and inches; this was half a metre. He was clear in line.
“It’s a hard one to take as the team deserved a draw and the extra time then you never know what happens.
“We pressed United and on the ball we were stable. Of course, we knew the second half we’d give away chances but even then it wasn’t much. Decisions like these at our level are hard to swallow.”
