MU players were embarrassed and did not celebrate the win over Coventry
When Rasmus Hojlund scored the decisive penalty kick that sent United to the final against neighbors Man City, half the team celebrated, but the other half did not.
It can be mentioned that Antony, who cupped his hand over his ear to mock Coventry fans, an action that received criticism from pundit Clinton Morrison.
Christian Eriksen, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Omari Forson were the other United players who celebrated with Hojlund and goalkeeper Andre Onana. However, Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Diogo Dalot and Amad Diallo appeared more cautious after the Red Devils’ place in the final was confirmed. Meanwhile, Harry Maguire took the time to shake hands with Coventry players right after the penalty shootout ended.
The reason many MU players didn’t seem to want to celebrate was because they were almost defeated by the Championship team despite leading 3-0, with Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes all scoring.

Ellis Simms’ goal in the 71st minute gave Coventry hope, before Callum O’Hare and Haji Wright scored to send the match to extra time.
Victor Torp thought he had won the game for Coventry in extra time, but the goal was not recognized by VAR because of Wright’s previous offside error.
Legend Roy Keane said that some MU players seemed embarrassed to win: “Some United players and fans did not celebrate too much. They were embarrassed to win.”
“I don’t like what I see. This MU team has no one with leadership ability or personality. God, they got lucky today.”
“Maguire thinks they showed character, I don’t see character in this group of players. Look at the goalkeeper, he’s wasting time. Let’s continue the match. Show some courage.”
“MU accomplished their goals today, but there are still too many big problems in the future,” Roy Keane was pessimistic.
