Manchester United kept their FA Cup defence alive with a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Leicester at Old Trafford, denying Ruud van Nistelrooy a dream return.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid put Leicester ahead just before halftime, but substitute Joshua Zirkzee equalized in the second half.

United pushed for a winner, and deep into stoppage time, Harry Maguire headed in Bruno Fernandes’ free-kick to complete the turnaround.

However, Maguire appeared to be in an offside position when the ball was played, sparking controversy as VAR was not in use.

Despite Leicester’s protests, the goal stood, sealing United’s place in the next round while Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side endured another setback.
