*Absence of VAR pushes Manchester United to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup*
Manchester United advanced to the FA Cup fifth round after a 2-1 comeback victory over Leicester City at Old Trafford on Friday, February 7, 2025. Leicester took the lead just before halftime through Bobby De Cordova-Reid. In the second half, substitute Joshua Zirkzee equalized for United. The match was decided in stoppage time when Harry Maguire headed in a Bruno Fernandes free-kick, securing the win for United. Replays indicated that Maguire was in an offside position during the goal, but with VAR not in use until the fifth round of the FA Cup, the goal stood.
Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy expressed his frustration with the officiating, stating, "We were not defeated in Fergie time, we are defeated in offside time."
Regarding Patrick Dorgu, he made his debut for Manchester United in this match but was substituted at halftime.
