Ruben Amorim ordered some of his Stars in Manchester United to follow a full training session immediately after their 2-1 victory over Leicester on Friday.
After a disappointing 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace last weekend, United welcomed Ruud van Nistelrooy's return to Old Trafford while standing in the FA Cup fourth round opposite his foxes.
Again, Amorim watched, however, while his side produced a lethargic display in the first half, with the visitors taking the lead on the edge of the interval by Bobby de Cordova Reid.
The introduction of Alejandro Garnacho caused a lift for United in the second half, and the hosts soon came back to level terms through Joshua Zirkzee.
The game seemed intended for extra time before Harry Maguire went home in a stopping time, even though they seemed to have been offside.
The dramatic end served as a dismissal for Amorim after his team had produced a Sub-PAR version, and the Portuguese quickly took action after the full-time whistle signal.
A message about the social media channels of the club showed that players were put on the field on the field on Friday evening.
The post confirmed that players underwent a full training session, instead of a usual warm-down after the game.
One of the players involved seemed to be Rasmus Hojlund, who played against Leicester for the full 90 minutes, but had difficulty making an impact, not to register any shot and losing 9 times.
“Working for the badge,” read the message.
“A part of the United Squad completed a full training session in Old Trafford after the full -time whistle on Friday.”
Despite an overwhelming show, the late winner of Maguire means that the defending champion will continue the fifth round of the competition.
The trek for the fifth round takes place on Monday at 7 p.m.
