Alejandro Garnacho impressed as Manchester United came from behind to defeat Leicester 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth round.
Ruben Amorim made two changes from the side that lost to Crystal Palace last weekend with Patrick Dorgu making his debut from the start and Rasmus Hojlund recalled in attack. Dorgu was signed to address United's issues at left wing-back but started on the right instead and linked up well with Amad Diallo for some bright moments in what was otherwise a dire first-half.
Leicester always posed a threat on the counter-attack though and took a shock lead in the dying moments of the half when Bobby De Cordova-Reid headed in a rebound from close range. Garnacho replaced Dorgu at the break and almost drew United level only for his effort to be spectacular cleared off the line by Leiecester defender Caleb Okoli.
United were the better side in the second-half and finally found themselves level when Joshua Zirkzee finished from close range after some good build-up play from Garnacho.
It looked like the game was set to head for extra-time until Harry Maguire headed in a dramatic winner at the Stretford End to book a place in the fifth round and mask a poor team performance.
Here is how we rated the United players in the win:
