Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag might be disappointed by several individual displays against Coventry, as the Dutchman aims to secure his job beyond the summer. He faces a risk of being sacked if INEOS, minority owners, decide that an FA Cup final appearance is not enough to keep him at Old Trafford. During the match, the coaches would have instructed the players to pick a spot and be sure of scoring to avoid embarrassment.
However, Casemiro, United’s first taker, deviated from the plan by attempting to take Coventry goalkeeper Brad Collins down a few levels. Fortunately for Collins, he stayed central and batted Casemiro’s effort away. Antony’s time on the pitch saw United squander a three-goal lead and struggle to maintain their performance. Despite his minimal contribution this season, Ten Hag repeatedly uses the 24-year-old, raising questions about his decision-making.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, forced to play on the left side due to United’s defensive injury crisis, struggled against Coventry, conceding a late penalty which Haji Wright converted. Overall, the match highlighted several individual disappointments for Manchester United, raising concerns about the team’s performance and the decisions made by the coaching staff.
