United appeared to be strolling into a successive FA Cup final after going 3-0 up against Championship side Coventry at Wembley, Maguire, Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes with the goals.
But Coventry produced a stunning fightback to score three goals in the final 20 minutes and take the tie to extra-time.
Ellis Simms began the comeback before Callum O’Hare scored with a deflected strike and Haji Wright converted a 95th-minute penalty.
The score remained 3-3 after extra-time after VAR intervened to deny Coventry a late and stunning winner, Victor Torp’s effort ruled out for a tight offside.
Even in the penalty shootout Manchester United were on the ropes after Casemiro missed with their opening effort, but O’Hare and Ben Sheaf also failed to convert before Rasmus Hojlund scored the decisive spot-kick.
Speaking after the win, that ensures a repeat of the 2023 FA Cup final between Manchester rivals United and City, Maguire praised his team-mates for showing ‘great character’ and progressing to back-to-back finals.
