Coventry vs Man Utd – FA Cup semi-final: United hope to avoid Wembley upset in huge last-4 tie – FREE stream, team news


MANCHESTER UNITED and Coventry will leave it all on the Wembley pitch as both sides look to book their spot in the FA Cup final.

But Erik ten Hag’s side has shown that they are capable of putting in some incredible performances – most notably the 4-3 thrilling win against Liverpool which earned them a place in the FA Cup semis.

And United will be expecting to progress to a second successive FA Cup final following last year’s defeat to noisy neighbours Manchester City.

However, with Coventry having already pulled off one upset against Wolves in the last-8, the Championship outfit will have the appetite for another shock win.

Furthermore, two Michael Mifsud goals saw the Sky Blues secure a historic victory when the sides last met.
