In an interview with The Mirror, former football player Roy Keane disagreed with centre-back Harry Maguire’s opinion about Manchester United’s victory over Coventry City.
Man United won the remaining ticket to this season’s FA Cup final after a breathtaking penalty shootout victory over lower-ranked team Coventry.
The Red Devils had a 3-0 lead at one point, but Coventry played hard for 25 minutes from minute 71 to 90+5 to drag the match into extra time and a tense shootout.
Having gone through an extremely difficult match against an underrated opponent, centre-back Maguire gave many compliments to his teammates after the match.
Speaking on ITV Sport, Maguire said that “Man Utd controlled the match well, but there was a feeling that the world wanted Coventry to win and this small team almost did. We had to concede 3 unlucky goals.” “.
This Red Devils centre-back also added: “The Red Devils showed their bravery to win the penalty shootout.”
However, Keane, with his outspoken personality, immediately responded to Maguire’s statements and stated why he felt worried about Man United’s future.
“Every week we have the same conversations about Man Utd. You don’t know what you’re going to get. They lack stability, they give you chances and always tend to play like that. Man Utd have giving opponents opportunities throughout the FA Cup this season.
“Liverpool should have beaten them. MU should have been defeated today. Yet they got to the final but you can still say that in football you need a bit of luck. Man Utd was sure today was so lucky.
“Maguire said that Man Utd has shown bravery. I don’t see any bravery in this team, really not. I’m getting to the stage where I almost hate Man Utd, because despite possessing quality But this team always plays in moderation. MU does not have a leader and often plays with bad habits.
“I saw Man Utd’s goalkeeper wasting time. When you lead your opponent by 2 to 3 goals, you simply continue the match as usual, show off your muscles and win. But they suddenly slacked off, almost like being afraid of winning. MU has big problems in the future but they have completed their mission to reach the final.
“In extra time, Coventry played like a Premier League team and Man United like a team from the Championship.”
Against Coventry, Man Utd led the opponent 3-0 but was equalized 3-3 by the opponent. Even without the crossbar and VAR to save the day, the Red Devils would have lost to the Championship team in the official match time. Fortunately, on penalties, MU won 4-2 to win the right to enter the FA Cup final. Ten Hag’s team’s opponent is Man City.
