Controversy surrounded the goal as the defender appeared to be in an offside position. However, with VAR not in use at this stage of the competition, the officials allowed it to stand.
The victory was a welcome relief for United fans, who had endured five defeats in their last seven home games at Old Trafford.
Leicester had taken the lead late in a subdued first half, with Bobby De Cordova-Reid reacting quickest to Andre Onana’s parried save from Wilfred Ndidi’s strike, nodding the Foxes in front.

United responded strongly after the break, boosted by the introduction of Alejandro Garnacho.

The Red Devils pressed for a winner, and their persistence paid off in the dying moments as Maguire’s header sealed a dramatic victory—though Leicester fans were left fuming over the decision.
