Ruud van Nistelrooy expressed anger after Leicester City's defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup, claiming they lost not in 'Fergie time' but due to an offside decision on Harry Maguire's late goal. The game lacked VAR technology, which could have overturned the decision, despite the assistant referee being in line to spot the infringement. Van Nistelrooy believed the team deserved better, having fought hard during the match. Ruben Amorim echoed disappointment regarding United's overall performance despite the win, emphasizing the game's outcome was not influenced by historical context.
We are not defeated in Fergie time, we are defeated in offside time, said Van Nistelrooy... It is a hard one to take because the game was decided on a mistake.
Let me think about that question, he said. We want to die on the pitch today, to get to the next round, to be the best we can be, to be competitive.
This game has nothing to do with the time of Fergie, said Ruben Amorim, expressing disappointment at United's performance.
