Manchester United fought back to beat Leicester City 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth round thanks to Harry Maguire's late header. Ruud van Nistelrooy, back at Old Trafford as one of Erik ten Hag's assistants, witnessed a dramatic comeback after Leicester took the lead through Bobby De Cordova-Reid. Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee came off the bench to change the game, before Maguire's header in stoppage time sealed the win.
HARRY MAGUIRE’S THUMPING header secured FA Cup holders Manchester United a late 2-1 comeback win against his former club Leicester and returning favourite Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Dutchman rejoined the club in the summer as one of Erik ten Hag’s assistants and looked set to haunt his former employers on his first visit to Old Trafford since Ruben Amorim let him go. Bobby De Cordova-Reid put Leicester ahead against lifeless United, who were booed off at the break but found a way past the Premier League strugglers in the second half.

The fourth-round tie was heading towards extra time as stoppage time ebbed away, only for Bruno Fernandes to swing in a cross powered home by Maguire.More to follow.
