Manchester United experienced a roller-coaster of emotions in their FA Cup semi-final clash against Coventry City, ultimately securing a spot in the final through a dramatic penalty shootout.
Initially cruising with a comfortable 3-0 lead, the Red Devils allowed Coventry to stage a remarkable comeback, leveling the score at 3-3 and forcing extra time. Despite United's struggles in the additional period, including a disallowed Coventry goal via VAR, goalkeeper Andre Onana's heroics in the shootout sealed their victory.
However, the nail-biting encounter raised questions about United's defensive vulnerabilities and their manager Erik ten Hag's tactical decisions. Player performances varied, with standout contributions from Diogo Dalot and notable shortcomings from Aaron Wan-Bissaka. While United's progression to the final against Manchester City brings relief, ten Hag's future at the club remains uncertain, with his managerial decisions under scrutiny amidst the dramatic victory.
