Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistorrooy had the civil servants tear and smoked in Manchester United and won the game in 'offside time' instead of 'Fergie Time' after a controversial Harry Maguire winner.
The game seemed to be on the way to extra time until the 93rd minute when Maguire was unark on the back post to go into the free kick of Bruno Fernandes, so that United progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
But repetitions clearly showed that Maguire scored from an offside position. There was also many complaints on the Leicester City bank for the award of the free kick in the first place.
Without VAR in operation until the fifth round of the FA Cup, the decision fell to the human eye and Van Nistelrooy's foxes came in the wrong side in the most painful way.
“We are not defeated in Fergie -time, we are defeated in offside time,” said a donated by Van Nistelrooy.
'The game has been decided for an error, it is clear. This was not necessary.
'Var you have [when] It is a few centimeters, a few centimeters, this was half a meter, clear in line.
'We deserved to go into extra time, to go for the fight in extra time and perhaps fines.
“Decisions like these are difficult to swallow in our level.”
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane was unbelieving on TV at the winning goal, because he also focused on the officials.
'The linesman must see it [Maguire being offside]”Said Keane.
'United came out of prison tonight. The implementation itself was not nearly enough. '
Van Nistelrooy's counterpart Ruben Amorim was able to sympathize with the Leicester boss in the injustice of the cup exit.
But after they had a difficult enchantment, Amorim thought they needed a bit of luck, but they could get it.
'We need many things [that are] There is nothing to do with happiness, it has to do with the quality of the work, we have to improve every detail of the game, energy, my work with it must be so much better, but sometimes you need a little luck and today we had.
'It is not lucky, because with VAR it was not a goal and I think it is important to have because it is fair.
“It is really difficult to lose one game with an offside game in the last minute, but sometimes we deserve a little luck.”
