The Red Devils were leading 3-0 against Coventry City at Wembley when the Championship team scored a stoppage time equalizer, forcing the game into extra-time. Although Coventry thought they had secured victory with a late goal, VAR denied them, leaving their celebrations subdued. Christian Eriksen was the only player to rush over to celebrate with the scorer, Hojlund, as the rest of the players appeared motionless and unenthusiastic.

Antony, who had received criticism for underperforming, celebrated by cupping his ear to the Coventry players after Hojlund’s winning penalty. United’s fans noticed the subdued atmosphere after the victory, with some expressing disappointment on social media. Erik ten Hag has led his team to successive FA Cup finals, but the manner of their victory has increased pressure on the Dutch manager.

Criticism arose about the team’s performance and luck in the match. A comment from an Irishman highlighted that the team lacks leadership and characters, and their sporadic style of play makes it hard to support them.
