As a result of Rúben Amorim’s victory over Leicester City in the FA Cup fourth round, Roy Keane has heaped praise on a particular Manchester United star to express his admiration for his performance.
Rúben Amorim’s team secured a dramatic victory over Leicester City on Friday evening, and it was Harry Maguire’s late winner that secured their spot in the fifth round of the FA Cup. This victory allowed Manchester United to secure their future in the competition.
The Leicester team, which was coached by Ruud van Nistelrooy, was prepared to withstand the early pressure that United applied, and they did so for the first half-hour of the match. In spite of the fact that United was gradually getting into the game, it was the visitors who scored first. Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored a goal just before halftime, which was the turning point. During the first half of the match, Amorim’s team did not have a single shot that was successful in hitting the target.
Both Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee were brought on during the halftime break as part of a double substitution. The former nearly made an immediate impact, as his shot was cleared off the line. This shot ignited the Old Trafford crowd. The increasing pressure exerted by United ultimately resulted in a favourable outcome, as a deflected strike from Rasmus Højlund was able to find its way to Zirkzee, who successfully scored the equaliser.
United’s unrelenting pursuit of a game-winning goal was rewarded in such a spectacular manner as the game entered the final minutes of injury time. A pinpoint free kick was delivered into the box by Bruno Fernandes, and Maguire rose to his fullest potential to steer a magnificent header past the custodian, thereby securing an unforgettable victory in the final minutes of the game.
Wright was taken aback by one of Amorim’s choices.After coming on at halftime, Garnacho proved to be the game-changer for Arsenal in their match against Leicester. Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright expressed his surprise that the 20-year-old player did not start the game.
Wright was quoted as saying, “I’m very surprised that Garnacho doesn’t start in that game,” while speaking on ITV.
That being said, I believe that he has done the same thing against Liverpool. He enters the room, and he is unable to deal with him. It is with a great deal of his quick attacks that he comes on. I was of the opinion that he ought to have settled the score earlier on. I was under the impression that they failed to seize the opportunity.
The Player of the Match award was given to Garnacho despite the fact that he did not contribute to any of the goals that were scored. His heroics in the second half earned him the award.
Keane lauds Garnacho for producing a performance that is dangerous.
Despite the fact that Keane went on to disagree with Wright and explain that Garnacho is frequently more effective when he is not on the pitch, he admitted that the Reds were significantly more effective once he was deployed on the pitch.

Read more about the five things that Manchester United noticed, including the three changes that Rúben Amorim made that saved him against Leicester City.
The legendary player for United began by saying, “I believe that he performs better when he comes off the bench.” When he leads the team in games, I’m not sure you can put your faith in him.
“When he comes off the bench and they are obviously taking more risks and a stretch, that is when he comes into his own,” the coach said. However, each and every time he was in possession of the ball, he appeared to be a threat, didn’t he?
You say to a winger, “You’re not going to get past your man every time, but you know, you keep doing it, you keep doing it, you’re going to get [rewarded].” This is exactly what you want, because you want to be rewarded for your efforts.
“They obviously put Leicester on the back foot, and obviously they are tired, the substitutes came on, and they lost a bit of physicality, and that is what Garnacho does,” said the coach.
In order to put defenders on the defensive end of the field, you want to put them to the test. They were coming in safe, in safe during the first half of the game, but the backers put them to the test, and they were rewarded for their efforts.
