Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim put some of his players through a full training session after their 2-1 win over Leicester City.

The Reds secured their place in the FA Cup fifth round thanks to a last-minute header from Harry Maguire, who was in an offside position when Bruno Fernandes curled his free-kick into the box.

It was hardly the most convincing of performances from United and after the game, Ruben Amorim expressed concern with how his team played on the night.

In fact, the Portuguese coach admitted they performed better in their 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace – a result that brought plenty of criticism.

“A good result,” Amorim said as he summed up another dramatic night at Old Trafford. “We move forward to the next stage. We have a week to prepare, but today was not a good day.”

Almost an hour after the full-time whistle and a handful of United players took part in an intense training session rather than a customary post-match warm-down.

Rasmus Hojlund, who played the full 90 minutes against Leicester, was amongst the group, according to the Mirror. He was joined by academy product Toby Collyer.

A number of goalkeepers were also put through their paces on the Old Trafford turf.

Taking to X at 2:21am, United confirmed it was a "full training session" rather than a regular post-match warm-down.

"Working for the badge," they said alongside two pictures of the action. "Some of the United squad completed a full training session at Old Trafford following the full-time whistle on Friday."

Hojlund, who has failed to score in his last 14 games, was visibly frustrated at a lack of service from his teammates against Ruud van Nistelrooy's side.

Amorim encouraged the striker to show his emotions on the pitch but also offered advice in regards to his movement.

"It’s a good thing, I will not say one bad word about this type of behaviour," said Amorim. "He needs to understand that sometimes he has to do a job without touching the ball, he cannot get so frustrated because in the next play maybe he will have a situation near the goal so he has to be calm.

"He’s a character, players from that kind of character from that country, they always want more, they want to score, they feel the critics. It’s a good thing but he will improve."

Amorim added: "A striker needs a very good team to deliver very good balls and we’re not helping our strikers at the moment."
