How Manuel Ugarte reacted in Old Trafford dressing room after Man Utd's late win over Leicester speaks volumes

Manuel Ugarte celebrated Manchester United's late win over Leicester City with a dressing room gesture that has since gone viral.

United booked their place in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday night after a controversial last-minute header from Harry Maguire sealed a far-from-convincing 2-1 victory against the Foxes.

Premier League strugglers Leicester opened the scoring through Bobby De Cordova-Reid, who headed home in the 42nd minute to give the visitors a deserved lead going into the break.

But after substitute Joshua Zirkzee tapped home from close range, Maguire scored an injury-time winner against his former club to complete another dramatic comeback at Old Trafford.

Ahead of kick-off, the entire United squad showed their support for Lisandro Martinez by wearing customised warm-up shirts that featured a message for the injured Argentine defender.

The message read: “¡Mucha Fuerza Licha!”, which in English translates to “Stay strong, Licha!”

On Sunday afternoon, the centre-back was carried off on a stretcher in the latter stages of United's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace after he twisted awkwardly when challenging Ismaila Sarr.

A few days later and the club confirmed that Martinez suffered an injury to his cruciate ligament, with widespread reports suggesting he will likely miss the rest of the season.

After the United squad showed their support for the Argentine, Martinez responded with a post on Instagram, saying: “Thanks for the show of support, guys! I’ll come back stronger.”

And just moments after the final whistle, Manuel Ugarte called "The Butcher" on FaceTime to celebrate the win before sharing a screenshot of their call on social media.

Almost an hour after the game had finished, some United players were put through their paces in an intense training session on the Old Trafford pitch.

Rasmus Hojlund, who played the full 90 minutes against Leicester, appeared to be amongst the group alongside academy product Toby Collyer, while a number of goalkeepers were put through their paces.

Reflecting on the result, Amorim said: "I cannot focus just on saving the season with the momentum of the [FA] Cup. That's not the way I see football, it's not the way I see Manchester United.

"It's everything, it's the performance, it's the result. I'm not thinking about the end of the season now, because the final is at the end of the season. I don't care about that, I care about the moment.

"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."
