Erik ten Hag slams 'embarrassing' media reaction to Man Utd's FA Cup win over Coventry as under-fire boss defends his 'magnificent' record in extraordinary rant

United were subjected to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-fa-cup-final-nothing-celebrate-coventry-collapse-sir-jim-ratcliffe-jason-wilcox-final-straw-erik-ten-hag/blt5a7f5119578b9478#csa6fec8a5eba2443e" target="_blank">scathing criticism from pundits and journalists</a> after their penalty shootout win against Championship side Coventry City, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-coventry-city-andre-onana-aaron-wan-bissaka/blt2ec60136c19542e8" target="_blank">thrown away a 3-0 lead before</a> being given a reprieve in extra-time when Victor Torp's 121st-minute goal was disallowed for a fractional offside.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"No. Absolutely not. You [the media] made enough and one the question: "is it embarrassing? No, the reaction from you was embarrassing. It is the comments," Ten Hag told a press conference on Tuesday. "Top football is about results, we made it to a final and we deserved it not only by this game but also the other games. We lost control for 20 mins, we also had bad luck, 3-2, 3-3. We were very lucky in the end, clear. Penalties was very good and we made it to the final, it is a huge achievement."

WHAT TEN HAG SAID

The Red Devils have reached three out of four domestic cup finals under Ten Hag, who also made it to three KNVB Cup finals while he was in charge of Ajax. The manager added: "Twice, in two years is magnificent. For me as a manager, four cup final in four years. The comments are a disgrace."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

United will meet Manchester City in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-man-city-vs-man-utd-first-fa-cup-final-its-kind-since-1885/bltc5d8a8b218cb8dbe">a repeat of last year's FA Cup final</a>, which they lost 2-1. It is the first time the same sides have met in consecutive finals since 1885.

DID YOU KNOW?

United host Premier League basement club Sheffield United on Wednesday, looking for their first win after 90 minutes since beating Everton on March 9. Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho are set to recover from injuries sustained against Coventry but Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay are doubts.
