We lost because the ref can’t call an offside!” – Ruud van Nistelrooy fuming after controversial Man United winner 😡 It’s such a Shameful thing that a team like Man United cannot beat Leicester at Old Trafford, if not that they paid the REFEREE because it was their home to favor them we could have easily won them, I have reported them already to this TWO Suspicious Act that I saw yesterday,They won’t Escape this I promise”, Van Nistelrooy have finally respond to TWO Crazy things that happened at Old Trafford yesterday Could this be the reason He refused to shake Ruben Amorim at Full-time yesterday.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was left furious after Leicester City’s dramatic exit from the FA Cup against Manchester United, following a highly disputed last-minute goal.
Leicester entered the fourth-round clash at Old Trafford with hopes of pulling off an upset. They started the game on a strong note, capitalizing on a lackluster first-half performance from Ruben Amorim’s team to secure a 1-0 lead by halftime.
In an effort to turn the game around, Amorim made tactical adjustments at the break, introducing Alejandro Garnacho. The young Argentine brought much-needed energy and pace to United’s attack, making an immediate impact. His efforts paid off when he assisted Joshua Zirkzee in scoring the equalizer, shifting the momentum in United’s favor.
Leicester’s heartbreak came in stoppage time when Harry Maguire nodded in a Bruno Fernandes free-kick to seal a 2-1 victory for United. However, controversy surrounded the goal, as replays suggested Maguire was offside. With VAR not in use until the FA Cup’s fifth round, the decision could not be reviewed, allowing the goal to stand.
Van Nistelrooy, a former Manchester United striker himself, didn’t hide his frustration, stating, “This is unacceptable. Mistakes like this shouldn’t happen at this level. My players gave everything, and it’s devastating to lose due to an officiating error.”
Meanwhile, Amorim acknowledged United’s good fortune, admitting, “We were lucky with that decision. Sometimes things go your way, but we still have a lot to improve.”
The debate over VAR’s absence in the earlier rounds of the FA Cup has once again been reignited following the controvers
ial finish.
