FA Cup: Nistelrooy Laments Offside Decision As United Edge Leicester To Enter Last 16
Bobby De Cordova: Leicester coach Ruud van Nistelrooy was left frustrated after his team’s controversial 2-1 loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup last 16 on Friday. United’s Harry Maguire netted a dramatic injury-time winner, despite strong claims that he was in an offside position.
Without VAR in the FA Cup, the goal stood, sending United through to the next round and marking their third home win over Leicester this season.
“This (loss) wasn’t necessary,” Van Nistelrooy told broadcasters. “This was half a meter (offside). Then extra time, stay in the game, you never know what happens. We deserved to go into extra time and maybe penalties. Decisions like these at our level are hard to swallow.”
