Manchester United made it into the FA Cup Final on Sunday after overcoming stubborn Coventry City on penalties.

The Red Devils scored three goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes. The Championship side fought back to level the game at 3-3.

The match was later decided via penalties with United winning 4-2.

Commenting on the win, a Manchester United legend, Roy Keane, said the Red Devils  looked like the Championship team

Roy Keane told ITV Sport: “The substitutions, the goal gave Coventry belief and all of a sudden they looked like a Premier League team in extra-time and United looked like a Championship team.

“Manchester United’s players and supporters didn’t go over the top because they knew they were lucky today. They were almost embarrassed at the end, but they got the job done to get to a cup final.

“I don’t like what I see from this United team. They are hard to like. They play in moments. We go on about leadership and character, but I don’t see any of this from this United group.

“You do not give a Championship team hope they can get back into the game from 3-0 down, but that is what this United team does. They give up chances and goals, we’ve seen it all season, so I don’t know why we’re surprised. My goodness, they rode their luck at the end.”
