Erik ten Hag was not entirely happy with Man United’s performance in the 3-3 (4-2) win over Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final.
Reflecting on the game, he told ITV: “It was an incredible game, a strange game too. We had total control for so long and then gave it away in the last part of the game. We did show resilience to win the penalty shootout.
“We had control for 75 minutes and have to give Coventry a compliment for what they did in the last 15 minutes. We have to improve. We talk a lot about this.
“First you have to put yourself in a winning position but then you have to take it over the line. In these moments we are making mistakes and not keeping our responsibilities.”
Ten Hag has managed to guide Man United to their second straight FA Cup final under him, but the performance itself was something to be shameful about – as the Red Devils bottled a 3-0 lead to force extra-time and then penalties.
The Red Devils will face foes Man City in the final, where they need to produce something much, much, much better to lift the cup title.
