‘Setting the example’ – fans hail Ruben Amorim’s devotion to hard work after narrow FA Cup win over Leicester

Sponsored by. MANCHESTER UNITED fans have cheered Ruben Amorim's devotion to hard work after his side's last-gasp FA Cup win over Leicester. Amorim held a post-match training session for his players on the Old Trafford pitch immediately after the game. Once again, Amorim watched on as his side produced a pathetic display in the first half, with the visitors taking the lead on the brink of the interval through Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

The half-time introduction of Alejandro Garnacho provided a lift for United in the second half, and the hosts soon got back on level terms through Joshua Zirkzee. Fans were preparing for extra-time before Harry Maguire headed home in stoppage time, despite appearing to have been offside in the absence of VAR in the fourth round. The dramatic ending spared Amorim's blushes and the Portuguese gaffer was quick to take action following the full-time whistle.

A post on the club's social media channels showed players being put through their paces on the pitch on Friday night. The post confirmed that players were undergoing a full training session, rather than a customary post-match warm-down. And fans absolutely loved to see Amorim's hardline methods. One wrote on X: "I saw the boss there. That’s setting the example.". A second said: "Make them work for the badge!".
A third added: "This is exactly what we need to see.". Rasmus Hojlund was involved despite the fact that he played the full 90 minutes against Leicester. The Dane struggled to make an impact, failing to register a single shot and losing possession nine times. The draw for the fifth round will take place on Monday at 7pm.
