Manchester United narrowly avoided disaster in their FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City, eventually winning on penalties. Despite the victory, former United captain Roy Keane was critical of the team’s performance, particularly disagreeing with Harry Maguire’s assessment of their display.
United initially took a 3-0 lead, but Coventry fought back to level the score, forcing extra time. Victor Torp appeared to score a late winner for Coventry, but it was ruled out for offside. The match went to penalties, with United eventually winning 4-3. After the game, Maguire praised the team’s character, but Keane was not convinced, stating, “I don’t see character in this group of players.” He criticized United for their inconsistent performances and inability to control games, highlighting their defensive lapses.
Keane’s comments reflect growing concerns about United’s performances under manager Erik ten Hag. Despite reaching the FA Cup final, questions remain about the team’s mentality and ability to compete at the highest level.
