Manchester United boss unhappy with his side's display in 2-1 win against Leicester in FA Cup

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim shared his thoughts on his side's 2-1 win against Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup. While speaking at the post-match press conference, the Portuguese manager criticized the Red Devils' performance despite the victory.

When asked by reporters about United seizing the win in the concluding minutes of the match, Amorim replied (via the club's official website):

"We have to believe it until the end but this has nothing to do with the time of Fergie. 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."

The Red Devils maintained a ball possession of 56% against Leicester City and had four shots on target.

Ruben Amorim also highlighted how he and his squad are moving forward from this win and will be focusing on their upcoming Premier League match and added:

"The moment is clearly not good enough. It's a good result. We move forward to the next stage. We have a week to prepare [for our next league game] but today was not a good day."

Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur in their next Premier League match on February 16.
