United were in cruise control at 3-0 up but conceded three goals in the final 20 minutes to be taken to extra-time by a team 21 places below them in the English football pyramid.
Despite seeing their side progress to back-to-back FA Cup finals, a number of Manchester United fans were concerned rather than pleased with the Coventry win and what it says for Ten Hag’s reign.
Ten Hag was appointed before the 2022-23 campaign and United enjoyed a promising first season under the Dutchman, finishing third in the Premier League and winning the EFL Cup.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes the stuttering semi-final performance will cost Ten Hag his job and a large section of the club’s fans agree.
