Roy Keane, a four-time FA Cup winner, was highly critical of Manchester United’s performance against Coventry City. Despite United’s 3-0 lead, the game was forced into extra time as Haji Wright’s 95th-minute penalty leveled the score at 3-3.
Coventry ultimately won the match on penalties, with Rasmus Hojlund sealing a 4-2 victory from the spot. Keane expressed disbelief at United’s collapse and lack of leadership, giving credit to Coventry for their audacious comeback.
During extra time, Keane voiced concern for Ten Hag (Man Utd’s manager), suggesting potential repercussions if they failed to win. Ultimately, United won on penalties, but Keane still described it as a lucky escape.
In contrast, Man City had defeated United in the previous year’s FA Cup final, marking United’s first final appearance since 2018. However, they haven’t won the competition since 2016 when Louis van Gaal was their manager.
In the match against Coventry, a crucial goal was ruled out due to offside, and VAR played a decisive role in United’s eventual triumph in the shootout. Despite their victory, Keane expressed displeasure with the team’s performance and route to the final.
