Man Utd come from behind to win after stoppage-time Maguire header
We asked for your views on Manchester United's match against Leicester in the FA Cup.
Here are some of your comments:
Man Utd fans
John: Dreadful in first half with some improvement in the second. Overall a very poor display; poor passing, little skill and lacking enthusiasm.
Mac: Never seen so many passes given away, territory squandered and such an obvious lack of strategy. Second half and Garnacho were totally different but still had to wait for a goal to ignite the team. Very lucky to get the winner - offside all day but I'll take it.
Peter: I've been watching United for over 60 years and the first half was the worst I have ever seen. A little better in the second half but no real threat. Even our second goal was apparently well offside.
Leicester fans
Jimmy: Leicester were by far the better team, taking the game to United and causing lots of problems... then early in the second half made lots of stupid substitutions which disrupted the team tactics and shape Irrespective of United winning with a clearly offside goal, bad decisions cost us a lucrative place in the next round. Let's hope the Foxes show the same desire and passion to win for the remainder of the season.
Mark: We were cruising against a poor Manchester United until Van Nistelrooy took off Thomas and Ndidi. Garnacho coming on made all the difference and our genius manager takes the left-back, who was doing fine, off instead of the right-back, who was getting skinned. And don't forget the obligatory offside goal in favour of United (it wasn't even close, so how did the linesman miss it from a dead ball?)
Nick: It was a difficult watch. Ruud van Nistelrooy set Leicester up with a possession-based style, looking for opportunities to open up. Without the players with the ability to keep possession or the quality to produce opportunities, wins will never be easy to come by.

The Foxes had battled well, were the better side in the first half and good value for their 1-0 goal lead as the game headed towards the final 20 minutes.
Even after Joshua Zirkzee's equaliser their performance earned them the opportunity to take the game to extra time, but it was not to be with Harry Maguire's stoppage-time winner, despite the defender appearing well offside.
But after a poor performance against Everton in their previous game, Leicester fans can take heart from this display and the battling qualities their players showed.
They will be needed as they look to pull themselves out of the Premier League relegation zone.

"If we lose it. we will say we are concentrating on the Premier League and if we win it gives us something extra to go at. It's a bit of a win-win.
"The Everton match, we need to put that behind us. Players not coming up to fans after the game, that needs to stop. We need to see a two-way thing between the club and fans.
"We need to get on the same page before the Arsenal game. The players can make that happen if they put in a performance against Manchester United. They don't have to win, but they need to leave it out on the pitch for us."

Unfortunately, as things stand I think Ipswich will be relegated in addition to Southampton and Leicester City.
Saying Ipswich is a difficult one for me because out of those three, they are the one that I think will give the biggest fight to survive between now and the end of the season.
But at the expense of who? It is probably Wolves, as Everton have now distanced themselves from the pack, but even then Wolves have a new manager and they have Premier League experience which will always help in this crunch time.
Ultimately, the gap now between the Championship and the Premier League is massive.
It is hard to adjust quickly enough in the Premier League as the players simply just don't have the time to adapt. Mistakes are punished, so it makes it very difficult to play the same style that has got a team promoted from the Championship.
Ipswich have probably been the most adaptable of the three teams, but they still lack the quality that is needed within a squad to compete. They have, however, invested and brought in more players in the January transfer window to give them a fighting chance.

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United boss Ruben Amorim says removing Ruud van Nistelrooy from his coaching staff after his appointment in November was "not a difficult situation".
Legendary United striker Van Nistelrooy oversaw three wins and a draw as caretaker manager after Erik ten Hag was sacked in October before leaving when Amorim was appointed and brought his own coaching staff.
Shortly after that, the Dutchman was named Leicester manager.
"It was not a difficult situation because it was so clear for me - I just had to explain," Amorim said. "I think it's really simple and he understands. He is a man of football.
"I have my team and my staff. I could keep Ruud because it was a good thing for me a popular thing to do.
"[But] I will not put Ruud in front of my guys, no matter what, and then I had to put a person like Ruud in the end on the hierarchy on my staff, and I think that was not fair on Ruud.
"To show respect to Ruud, I was really clear with him and I explained that I have my team, I will continue the same way and I will not put a guy like Ruud, a legend of this club, in the end of the hierarchy in the staff."
The Foxes visit Old Trafford in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday night on a run of one win in nine in the Premier League, but Van Nistelrooy says he is not worried about his future at the club.
"I don't have to be considering these things," he said. "Of course, we're not in an easy moment. It's getting on with your jobs and not speaking about any other things.
"We're in this fight, we're talking in the league of course, but this game is big for us."
On returning to Manchester, he added: "It is special to go back there. There was a history as player, history as an assistant manager and history as a caretaker.
"That is part of me it always will be - but my focus will be on my team to get the best out of them and perform and show what we are about."

What a story it is to see Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has won the FA Cup with Manchester United as a player, going back to Old Trafford with Leicester.
He was in charge of United when they beat the Foxes there twice in the space of two weeks earlier in the season, but he will want a different outcome this time.
Leicester are struggling at the moment but this still won't be straightforward for United.
It is amazing how many surprise results there have been in the Premier League this season, but the one constant has been that United have been awful throughout.
I have absolutely no confidence in this prediction but, based on how poor Leicester have been recently, and also their heavy defeat by Everton last time out, I think the holders will find a way of winning this tie in 90 minutes to make it into the fifth-round draw.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
