- LISTEN NOW: It’s All Kicking Off! Does the Premier League REALLY need to look at goal celebrations?
Ruben Amorim ordered some of his Manchester United stars to undergo a full training session immediately after their 2-1 win over Leicester on Friday.
After a disappointing 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace last weekend, United welcomed the return of Ruud van Nistelrooy to Old Trafford as they faced his Foxes side in the FA Cup fourth round.
Once again, however, Amorim watched on as his side produced a lethargic display in the first half, with the visitors taking the lead on the brink of the interval through Bobby De Cordova-Reid.
The 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.
The game appeared destined for extra-time before Harry Maguire headed home in stoppage time, despite appearing to have been offside.
The dramatic ending served as a let-off for Amorim after his team produced another sub-par performance, and the Portuguese was quick to take action following the full-time whistle.

A post to the club’s social media revealed Amorim oversaw a full training session on the Old Trafford pitch 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.
One of the players involved appeared to be Rasmus Hojlund, who played the full 90 minutes against Leicester but struggled to make an impact, failing to register a single shot and losing possession 9 times.
‘Working for the badge,’ the post read.
‘Some of the United squad completed a full training session at Old Trafford following the full-time whistle on Friday.’
Despite an underwhelming showing, Maguire’s late winner means the defending champions will progress to the fifth round of the competition.
The draw for the fifth round will take place on Monday at 7pm.
