Manchester United legend Roy Keane has shared his thoughts on the Red Devils' 2-1 win over Leicester City in the FA Cup.

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has tempered the excitement surrounding the Red Devils' dramatic FA Cup win over Leicester City, urging fans not to "be fooled" by the result.

Ruben Amorim's men progressed to the fifth round via a 2-1 win, sealed by a clear offside goal from Harry Maguire.

Keane was unimpressed by United's performance, which saw them struggle to create chances until Joshua Zirkzee's equalizer in the 68th minute.

Keane, speaking on ITV's coverage of the game, said: "It is a bit of everything. The manager is obviously really frustrated."

He criticized United's lack of energy and enthusiasm, stating: "I don't understand. There's no energy – we go on about tactics, you have to play with energy, it is the starting point and enthusiasm. It doesn't matter what system you are playing, you won't get near anyone."

Keane also emphasized the need for United to improve their performance, saying: "You have to close people down. We saw two bad teams out there.

"Don't be fooled. You have to praise them, in the next round, but the performance itself was nowhere near good enough."
