They will be in the final on May 25 against City of Manchester.
Ten Hag’s team started strongly, pressing high and locking Coventry City down in their own half, barely getting past midfield. The few times they can do this they have clear ideas, with a direct game to look for O’Hare inside so you can find the space Simms or Wright.
Despite total control of the territory and the ball, chances for Manchester United did not come, until Casemiro – in the middle for a day – put a perfectly long pass behind the defense to leave the goalkeeper alone in front of the goalkeeper, who after good control stumbles and determines poorly.
On the 23rd, Grenache focused all eyes on the defense and put it deep in the Dalotcentered on the end post so that’s it McTominay made it 1-0 and broke the tie.
Coventry barely crossed the middle of the field and United fell into relaxation and almost paid for it dearly, as Eccles cleared all the rivals that appeared in the way and put in a death pass that Dalot provided which was intercepted. The warning served so that later Dalot himself put it behind him. Rashford and that he shot from the front, which met the harsh response of the ‘airlines’ collins.

Simms (71′).
From that moment on, both the public and the Robins players believed it was possible. And boy was it. They bottled up Manchester United and started hanging ball after ball, making Onana the best player for the Red Devils.
