“Show some courage” – Roy Keane blasts Manchester United players in Coventry win

Rasmus Hojlund’s heroics propelled Manchester United into the FA Cup final after a tense semi-final clash against Coventry City at Wembley.

However, the victory was overshadowed by an unconvincing performance which sparked criticism from former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, who lambasted the team’s performance and lack of leadership.

Despite taking an early lead through Scott McTominay and adding to it with goals from Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United found themselves on the back foot as Coventry City mounted a stunning comeback, eventually equalising in the dying minutes of regular time.

Keane, speaking on ITV, expressed his dissatisfaction with United’s performance, citing a perceived absence of leadership and character within the team. He criticised the players’ reactions and perceived lack of courage, emphasising the need for a stronger mentality going forward.

Keane exclaimed: “We’re having the same conversation every week with Man United, you don’t know what you’re going to get. You always say you need a bit of luck. Maguire said they showed good character, I don’t see character in this group of players.

“I’m looking at the goalkeeper, wasting time. Just get on with the game. Show some courage. Huge problems for Man United going forward but they got the job.”

Despite securing a spot in the final, Keane’s critique underscores the challenges facing the Red Devils as they strive for success.

While Rasmus Hojlund’s decisive penalty secured United’s progression to the final against Manchester City, the subdued celebrations from the team suggest an acknowledgment of the much-needed improvements highlighted by Keane.
