Paul Scholes immediately deletes Instagram post about major Ruben Amorim decision which has divided the Man Utd fanbase

Scholes quickly deleted the story, which was aimed at United boss Amorim.

Paul Scholes quickly deleted an Instagram post about Ruben Amorim following Manchester United's 2-1 win over Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

United edged over the line at Old Trafford on Friday evening through Harry Maguire's header in second half stoppage time - though the defender was clearly offside when the ball was played in to him.

It was an occasion that wasn't particularly high on quality, but Amorim's side got over the line despite once again going behind in a home fixture.

Bobby Decordova-Reid put Leicester ahead in the first half, before substitute Joshua Zirkzee equalised for the hosts on 60 minutes.

The match also saw the United debut of new signing Patrick Dorgu, who lined up at right wing-back before being substituted at half-time.

That meant Amorim elected to invert Dorgu and opposite wing-back Diogo Dalot during the match, with both players operating on the sides that matched their 'weaker' feet.

And United legend Scholes took to Instagram to react to the Portuguese's decision immediately after the match, writing in a story: "Inverted wing-backs... you saw it at OT first..."

The post was not visible as of Saturday morning, with Scholes having appeared to take it down.

Amorim explained his decision to play Dorgu on his weaker side in his post-match press conference: "He played a lot of time at Lecce on the right and the left.

"That is one of the characteristics we pay attention to a lot, to have a player like him.

"He was a little bit anxious with his first touch of the ball. It's a different league for him, different speed of the game, but he did well. He has pace, strength, he will improve a lot and we as a team need to play better to help these new guys to perform at the right level.

"You can see in Wyscout [a data and player statistical analysis tool] that he can play both sides."
