Ten Hag slams his critics as a disgrace for embarrassing question of FA Cup

Erik ten Hag has hit back at his critics, labelling them as a 'disgrace' following Manchester United's progression to a second-successive FA Cup final.

The Red Devils scraped by Championship outfit Coventry City on penalties in Sunday's semi-final to set up a showdown with Manchester City on May 25 at Wembley.

However, despite the victory the manner of the performance was cause for concern for United - with Ten Hag's side blowing a 3-0 lead with 20 minutes remaining.

The collapse led to many, such as United legend Roy Keane, being highly critical of Ten Hag's side - with the Dutchman hitting back on Tuesday.

Asked about his views on reaction to their win, the Dutchman said: 'No, the reaction from you [the media] was embarrassing. It is the comments. 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 minutes, 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.

'Twice, in two years is magnificent. For me as a manager, four cup final in four years. The comments are a disgrace."
