Leading 3-0 but being equalized 3-3 in the final minutes of the second half, Manchester United almost became the most embarrassed team in England if VAR did not rescue them from a late goal at the end of extra time in the FA Cup semi-final. . Winning the penalty shootout with a score of 4-2 brought MU to the final and rematched Man City, but the result of the match did not satisfy many fans of the club and even the old players.

Antony ran to celebrate and put his hand on his ear to mock the Coventry players

Although it took a lot of hard work and luck to not lose, against Coventry City, ranked 8th in the Championship, the actions and statements of both the players and the MU coach were not appreciated by many people. After the penalty shootout ended, Antony looked very smart towards the Coventry players and put his hand in his ear, even though the Brazilian player did not kick any penalty kicks (in contrast, Harry Maguire came out to shake hands and comfort your team).

Meanwhile, coach Erik Ten Hag seemed quite excited even though his team had just suffered a “shortfall”. “This cannot be considered a shame, but a great achievement,” he said. We have been to the finals 2 years in a row. And that’s despite the difficulties we had to go through, including today’s score and the referee’s lack of impartiality. We should have got a penalty today.”

Those actions and words made former player Roy Keane’s blood boil in the post-match commentary on ITV. He commented: “Liverpool should have beaten these players. That’s right, I just said Liverpool should have beaten MU. Today, MU was too lucky, perhaps even these players knew that so they did not dare to celebrate too much after the penalty shootout.

Roy Keane criticized MU as being no different from a Championship team

“I’ll say it frankly, whenever I watch the current MU play, I don’t like the way those players play. No courage, no will. After leading 3-0, the goalkeeper bought time. To the point where I now hate my old team,” Roy Keane said.

“What I witnessed was a team with bad habits, a team afraid of winning. During extra time, Coventry played like a Premier League team , while MU was a team like they were playing in the Championship.”
