Manchester United found themselves three goals ahead in under an hour against Coventry, only to let the lead slip and concede three goals, leading to extra time. Coventry had a potential winning goal disallowed for offside and United ultimately won 4-2 in a penalty shootout. Nevertheless, concerns were raised about the team’s performance, and there were calls for the manager, Ten Hag, to be dismissed.
Despite the criticism, Ten Hag defended the team’s achievement but admitted that he was unhappy with the way the team allowed Coventry back into the game. Fans expressed their frustrations on social media, with some suggesting that the result could cost the manager his job. Despite the shaky performance, Manchester United managed to secure a spot in the FA Cup final for the second consecutive year.
They will face the same opponent, seeking revenge after losing to Pep Guardiola’s side in last year’s final.
