Irish football pundit Roy Keane brutal verdict on Coventry City vs Manchester United match win in the FA Cup Semi-finals

Championship opponents gave Erik ten Hag’s squad a tremendous fright prior to their FA Cup final progression via penalty shootout.

The current crop, according to Manchester United legend Roy Keane, was likely “too embarrassed” to adequately celebrate their victory over Coventry City. United advanced to the FA Cup final, where they will face their local rivals Manchester City, on the cusp of a penalty shootout victory over Championship opponents.

Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire, and Bruno Fernandes all scored to give United the upper hand beneath the renowned arch. Nevertheless, despite holding a 3-0 advantage with 19 minutes remaining in regulation time, Erik ten Hag’s squad was held scoreless and was forced to resort to penalties after an additional thirty minutes during which they could have potentially lost.

A would-be winner by Victor Torp was deemed offside due to VAR intervention prior to United advancing on penalties. Keane comprehends why their players jubilantly celebrated in the presence of those who had traveled from Manchester following such a lackluster performance.

The legendary former United captain stated to ITV Sport: “The players and supporters of United were not exactly extravagant in their celebrations, given that they were cognizant of the fact that they had been fortunate. With a 3-0 lead, they were on the verge of being humiliated by their eventual victory. They qualified for the cup final and performed admirably.

“Whatever I see of this United squad, I am not impressed. They are difficult to like.”

Keane, 52, further stated, “They play in spurts; we made a note of it following the game.” Your discussion continues to revolve around character and leadership. None of this is present in this United group.

“When leading 3-0, it is game management to deny any hope to a Championship club that may attempt to rally for the game.” However, we’ve witnessed them yield up opportunities and goals throughout the entire season, so I fail to see why we are that taken aback. They certainly managed to ride their fortunes once more.
