Manchester United progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup on Friday thanks to a 2-1 victory over Leicester City, but Ruben Amorim was clearly not happy with his side’s display.

It took a late header from Harry Maguire, who was offside in the buildup to the goal,” to fire the Red Devils past their out-of-form opponents, who had the better of the first half and who took the lead via a strike from Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

Even with the turnaround, which was instigated by Alejandro Garnacho’s bright appearance off the bench, United failed to quieten their critics – and even Amorim was left incensed by his side’s display.

“I think we have to do so much better, with the ball, without the ball. We didn't have any energy in the beginning, especially in the first half. Then in the second half, we played a little bit better with a little bit more speed and winning second balls. Then we managed to turn things around and it was a good result but not a good performance,” Amorim admitted.

He was then questioned about whether the issue is the players, the system or the coach.

“It's everything. The coach is the first one responsible. When a team doesn't perform and doesn't improve, it's the coach. But we are here to see the game, study the game and try to improve for the next game,” Amorim said.

Amorim holds training session after Leicester match

Preparations for the next game, which will be a Premier League clash against Tottenham on 16 February, started immediately in a twist that was probably unwelcomed for Man Utd’s misfiring stars.

Instead of holding a typical cooldown, Amorim drilled his players in what developed into a post-match training session on the Old Trafford pitch.

United confirmed the situation via a social media post: “Working for the badge. Some of the United squad completed a full training session at Old Trafford following the full-time whistle on Friday.”

Regardless of what Amorim’s faults are perceived to be at Man Utd, a lack of hard work clearly isn’t one of them.
