FA Cup Final: Best Manchester United reaction

-

 Let's explore the best reaction from the red side of Manchester as United lost the FA Cup Final.

The reds were left frustrated as they couldn't stop City edging closer to a Treble with victory in the FA Cup Final at Wembley.

You can listen to the thoughts of the United manager in the video below. Erik Reacts To FA Cup Final Defeat 🗣 | Man City 2-1 Man Utd - YouTube

What are the fans saying?

Liam, a Manchester United Season Ticket holder, told us: "I thought we just lacked a little bit of quality in the final third. That was the difference. Overall,  it’s been a good season. We have to start looking forward as fans."

Phil spoke about the goals United conceded. He added: "They were annoying goals to concede and were so soft and avoidable. We probably need to strengthen our defence so we have more options if Martinez or Varane get injured."

Sophie added: "This team has shown resilience, character and personality throughout the season. We know there's a long way to go, but this will make us better going forward. It was a test for us, we didn't succeed, but we can take a lot of positives into next season."

Ryan Connelly tried to offer some tactical insight: "What City do for large sections of the game is keep the ball. It helps their energy level for most of the game and lessens the oppositions. We either have to get players who can do the same, or if we want to be quicker in transition make sure we have players who are accurate passer and don't lose the ball unnecessarily."

Peter Jacobs believes Garnacho should have started the match: "I thought he should have started yesterday. I know people make the impact sub-argument, but when Rashford is through the middle anyway it's a no-brainer for me. You don't have to play an 18-year-old every week, but it's a cup final, and he was easily the best available option."

On the Red Cafe United forum, Bristol_Red_87 posted this: "We lined up similarly to that of the side that faced City at OT, and it was almost as effective. We stifled Rodri and KBD. We probably showed them even more respect that day, but our shape made us incredibly difficult to play against. In the summer sun on a huge Wembley pitch, City found more gaps, but that was to be expected."

On the same forum, Marwood said: "City weren't great yesterday. We didn't need to be brilliant to beat them."

FA Cup: United win on penalties

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Manchester United 1 - 1 Burnley Zeki Amdouni scored a late penalty to grab what could he a priceless point for relegation-threatened Burnley in the Premier League at Old Trafford. Despite another unconvincing display from Manchester United, they did look well set for victory thanks to Antony's well-taken 79th-minute effort. Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
