He said on X: “Whatever happens now I’m so ashamed of this whole shambolic display. No disrespect to Coventry who’ve shown more belief than our lot but this is one of the most embarrassing halves of football I ve ever experienced watching United. No excuse for the tactics / subs and collapsing”.

Pooja wrote on X: “It’s a big shame seeing Man Utd fans celebrating when you barely defeated Coventry on penalty from 3-0 up.”

Senior Man didn’t mince words in his criticism of Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United.

He wrote on X: “Manchester United, today, made me understand the word embarrassing in literal terms. The coach doesn’t seem to have a knowhow, and clearly is unconnected to the rich history and the pedigree of the club he is coaching, the comeback was embarrassing”.

Meanwhile, Manchester United coach, Erik Ten Hag admitted that his team’s performance was not pleasing and he is demanding for improvement ahead of the final against Manchester City.

“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. We can be happy with the achievement, getting to the final, that’s huge. If you see United was, in the last 20 seasons, five times in the FA Cup final and now we are twice there in two years. We need to win that final though. When we [are] 100 per cent in it then we can do it.”
