Relief but United still amid self-made crisis

MANCHESTER United's players will have breathed a sigh of relief after Harry Maguire's late goal spared them and their many fans another 30 minutes of toil at Old Trafford.

It must be noted that the goal should have and would have been disallowed for offside if VAR had been in operation against Leicester City at M16 on Friday night.

The Reds got away with one, as they have done on several occasions under Ruben Amorim so far, with fortunate wins over Fulham, Rangers, Southampton and now Leicester among the growing performances of concern.

Amorim, as well as most fans, will be bothered that United cannot put together a convincing performance over 90 minutes. The last one perhaps came in Ruud van Nistelrooy's final game in charge as interim manager, when the Reds beat the team he now manages, Leicester City, 3-0 on November 10.
