Maguire helps Man Utd come back in FA Cup

Welcoming Leicester, coach Ruben Amorim surprisingly arranged for rookie defender Patrick Dorgu to start. However, it was even more surprising when the Portuguese strategist let the young Danish star play right wing-back in the familiar 3-4-2-1 system instead of left wing-back, the position that is considered his forte.

After the opening whistle, Man Utd tried to push up the attack but encountered many difficulties in deploying the ball due to Leicester's intense pressing. It was not until the 22nd minute that the first opportunity appeared for the Red Devils, when Dorgu's long-range shot went over the bar.

The game continued to be a stalemate for the remainder of the match, and in the 42nd minute, Leicester took the lead. After midfielder Manuel Ugarte lost the ball, Wilfred Ndidi was given a chance by his teammate to shoot. Goalkeeper Andre Onana successfully blocked the ball, but De Cordova-Reid was in the right place at the right time to head home the opening goal for the visitors.

In the second half, coach Amorim had to make adjustments to strengthen the attack, with Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee coming on. His decision paid off in the 68th minute, when Zirkzee shone to score the equalizer for Man Utd with a precise finish.

This goal helped Man Utd's spirit rise. The home team put a lot of pressure on Leicester's goal. And at the most difficult moment, the star spoke up. In the 90+3 minute, captain midfielder Bruno Fernandes took a beautiful free kick on the left wing. The ball was poured into the penalty area, eliminating the entire Leicester defense so that Maguire could sneak down and head the ball into the corner, bringing the "golden goal" for the Red Devils.

In the end, MU came from behind to defeat Leicester 2-1, thereby winning a ticket to the 5th round of the FA Cup. On February 16, MU will return to the Premier League to visit Tottenham in round 25.
