Struggling United manager says making it to two finals in two years is ‘magnificent’ after his team was roundly criticised for blowing a 3-0 lead.
After limping into the FA Cup final, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has come out fighting against the reactions to his team’s eventual win over Coventry City.
United were roundly criticised for blowing a 3-0 lead against their second-tier opponents on Sunday and needing a penalty shootout to advance to the final.
Ten Hag himself admitted United was fortunate when Coventry saw an extra-time winner ruled out by VAR for a marginal offside. But with uncertainty surrounding his future after a disappointing season, he hit out at his critics after leading United to back-to-back FA Cup finals.
“The reaction from you [the media] was embarrassing,” he said at a news conference on Tuesday.
“Top football is about results, and we made it to the final and deserved it.
