Manchester United vs Coventry LIVE: FA Cup semi-final result as Red Devils sneak through penalty shootout to reach final

Coventry City beat Oxford 6-2 in the third round, Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 in a fourth round replay, non-league Maidstone 5-0 in round five and Wolves 3-2 in the quarter-final.

They were 2-1 down to Wolves in the seventh minute of injury time before two late goals took them to Wembley and set up a clash against Manchester United.

Manchester United were beaten finalists in last season’s FA Cup when they lost to Manchester City but are struggling for form going into the game against Coventry today.

Manager Erik ten Hag’s side have three draws and a defeat from their last four games and have dropped to seventh in the Premier League.

"Obviously, we want to win every game," said Ten Hag. "So when we don’t win we are disappointed, are frustrated, sure, but we know also we can beat the best teams.

"When we play to our levels, we can achieve really high highs."

Coventry vs Manchester United kicks off at 3.30pm BST at Wembley Stadium, London.

Coventry City boss Mark Robins doesn’t pay much credit to reports that Manchester United are there for the taking this afternoonr and says his team are going up against top players.

“I hear people talking about Manchester United, they are this, they are that - the truth of it is they’ve got top, top players,” Robins told BBC Radio CWR.

“People in football, pundits, talk in a derisory way about Manchester United - realistically, they can hurt anybody on their day. The 2-2 draw against Liverpool the other week, the goals were outstanding, the counter-attack is scintillating at times.

“You’ve got a lot of things to consider, especially as a Championship club, coming up against the biggest club in the world.”

Mark Robins makes two changes to the Coventry City team that lost to Birmingham last time out. Victor Torp and Kasey Palmer drop out with Josh Eccles and Callum O’Hare coming in.

Manchester United have only one change to the line-up that drew 2-2 with Bournemouth in their last outing. Scott McTominay starts alongside Kobbie Mainoo in midfield with Casemiro dropping back to partner Harry Maguire in central defence. Willy Kambwala is the man who drops out.

Coventry XI: Collins, Latibeaudiere, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell, Eccles, Sheaf, O’Hare, Van Ewijk, Wright, Simms

Man Utd XI: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Maguire, Dalot, McTominay, Mainoo, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

Erik ten Hag suggested Jadon Sancho’s Champions League success with Borussia Dortmund will not guarantee him a way back into the manager’s plans, saying: “No (nothing has changed about his future), but we know Jadon Sancho is a fantastic football player, so that is not a surprise for us. That is not the issue.

“I follow international football and follow the players on loan at other clubs. It was a fantastic game, Dortmund against Atletico Madrid, a great performance from Dortmund and for Jadon it’s good news, he made his contribution to the result for Dortmund.”

Alejandro Garnacho, meanwhile, remains very much in Ten Hag’s plans for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Coventry after the United boss forgave him for what he sees as a youthful mistake when the Argentine ‘liked’ social media posts criticising the manager’s decisions to sub him off the pitch.

He added: “Alejandro is a young player, he has to learn a lot. He apologised for it and after that we move on.”

Erik ten Hag said he was not surprised Jadon Sancho played a starring role in helping Borussia Dortmund reach the Champions League semi-finals but that it has not given him a renewed chance of having a future at Old Trafford.

The Manchester United manager revealed that Alejandro Garnacho had said sorry to him for liking tweets criticising his decision to substitute the Argentinian in last week’s draw at Bournemouth.

Whereas Sancho has not played for the club, and has refused to apologise for a social-media post about Ten Hag, since August.

Death, taxes and Wembley woe for Chelsea. Sorry, Mr Jackson, but you need to apologise a trillion times for this one. This is on you.

A bruised and battered Manchester City were there for the taking, just as Liverpool were on the ropes two months ago. Once again, Chelsea weren’t just creating good chances but gilt-edged, match-deciding ones, with regularity.

Yet somehow, just as Liverpool escaped with a last-gasp winner in February’s Carabao Cup final heartache, against the run of play, Bernardo Silva stole in at the back post six minutes from time to send the FA Cup holders through to next month’s showpiece and keep City’s domestic double hopes alive.

Manchester United have won 13 of their last 15 meetings with Coventry in al competitions (two defeats). This will be the first game between the sides since September 2007 which the Sky Blues won 2-0 at Old Trafford in the League Cup.
