Manchester United secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday.
The Red Devils struggled in the first half, failing to register a shot on target and trailing 1-0 at halftime.
However, United improved after the break, with Alejandro Garnacho denied a clear goal by an outstanding goal-line clearance.
They equalized through Joshua Zirkzee, who capitalized on a rebound.
In stoppage time, Harry Maguire headed in the winner from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick, despite being clearly offside, as VAR was not available to intervene.

Zirkzee, who replaced Kobbie Mainoo in the 62nd minute, played alongside Rasmus Hojlund upfront. His positional awareness was key to the equalizer, and he excelled defensively, winning seven out of ten duels and four out of five tackles while completing all his take-ons. Alongside Garnacho, Zirkzee made a significant impact off the bench.
Rated 8/10 by the Manchester Evening News, Zirkzee should start when Man United face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League next weekend. He delivered one of his best performances for the club and will look to maintain this momentum in future matches.
It remains to be seen if manager Ruben Amorim will pair Zirkzee with Hojlund or choose to have Zirkzee lead the line alone.
