Manchester United have managed to get through to the next round of the FA Cup by the skin of their teeth after beating Leicester City 2-1.
United hosted their former coach and manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, as his Foxes came to Old Trafford in search of the win.
Thanks to a poor defensive showing, Leicester managed to pull ahead, however a goal from Joshua Zirkzee once he took to the pitch brought The Red Devils even.
In extra time, Amorim had Harry Maguire to thank as he scored another last-minute goal to send United to the next round.
However, it was far from a strong showing by United, with club legend Roy Keane letting loose at the players, saying: “United got out of jail. Don’t be fooled by it.”
He continued: “You have to praise them – Manchester United are in the next round of the cup – but if they keep performing like that… the performance itself was nowhere near good enough.
“From United’s point of view, is this what it’s come to? Nowhere near good enough. United aren’t even doing the basics right.”
However in another recent assessment, one man in particular has been singled out.

Thomas Gravesen fears for Christian Eriksen
Speaking Tipsbladet, former Real Madrid and Denmark midfielder raised concerns around the future of fellow countryman Christian Eriksen.
The player-turned-pundit commented: “It’s 100 percent over for Christian Eriksen at Manchester United this summer, and I also fear that his career is over.”
He continued: “Where is he going to go? Where is he going to go and earn 60 million kroner a year? I have a hard time seeing that.
“He has probably earned the money he should, but I think that the development that Christian has been in the last few years is downward. It is sad to see the situation that Christian Eriksen is in.
“He is one of the players in Denmark who has given us the most. He has shone and been our best man, so it is sad if his career ends like this.
“He left Milan, and suddenly he was just gone. It took six months before he announced what happened. Christian Eriksen is turning 33 soon, and I’m afraid history will repeat itself.”
Eriksen’s contract with United is set to expire in the summer and there’s currently no suitors known wanting to pick up the star, with Amorim having no interest in extending his contract.
Eriksen has made a total 21 appearances this season, with four goals and four assists, however seven of the appearances have come off the bench, regularly being an unused substitute in recent months.
