How to watch Man United vs Coventry: The second FA Cup semi-final takes place on Sunday, with Manchester United battling surprise package Coventry City. Here’s how to watch for free.
Times have been tough for Man United under Erik ten Hag, but the Dutchman has a good record in the world’s oldest cup competition. United reached the final in his first season in charge and are one game away from repeating the feat in 2024.
United are big favourites to make the Wembley showpiece next month as they take on Coventry City of the Championsip. The Sky Blues dramatically reached this stage via a late win at Wolves in March, scoring in the seventh and tenth minutes of stoppage time to win 3-2.
Coventry have pedigree in the FA Cup, having won the tournament in 1987. The club has fallen on hard times in the 21st century, but the long-suffering supporters have been rewarded with another trip to Wembley all these years later.
Given United’s recent form, can they dare to dream bigger? The xPTS advanced metric has United 7th bottom of the Premier League with just 37 points. Coventry have an outside shot at a Championship play-off place under Mark Robbins.
So it’s not out of the realms of possibilty Coventry could provide a little comedy this weekend.
