Manchester United fans could breathe in ease after a 3-3 deadlock followed by a a nail-biting penalty shootout against Coventry meant the Red Devils went on to the FA Cup final. Erik Ten Hag was not happy with how United played, but gave credit to a team that held out until the last minutes.

“It's mixed feelings. The way we did it isn't OK. We should have managed it better but it's a huge performance. If you analyse the game we controlled 75 minutes but then allowed them to return into the game.” Ten Hag said in Manchester United’s post match press conference.

You could catch Coventry at odds of 61.00 while they were 3-0 down in the first half.

Alejandro Garnacho, despite having a decent game and being the heart of a struggling United side’s attack, was subbed off for Antony in the 65th minute. Ten Hag and the Argentine have been in an altercation since Garnacho liked a tweet criticizing the head coach.

Garnacho has since apologized for his behavior.

Antony showed a lack of respect towards Coventry players upon the last penalty being saved, seeing the FL Championship side crash out of the FA Cup.

Harry Maguire was professional in his approach, going over to shake the hands of Coventry’s squad.

Manchester United will face fierce rivals Man City in a Manchester derby, in the FA Cup final following City’s triumph over Pochettino’s Chelsea earlier this weekend.
