The debacle over Manchester United‘s performance against Coventry isn’t ending anytime soon. Despite securing a win on penalties, critics are unimpressed with Erik ten Hag‘s side. Many believe United were subpar throughout the contest and did not deserve the win after bottling their 3-0 lead in less than 20 minutes. Well, Erik ten Hag hasn’t taken too kindly to the opinion with the Dutchman blasting the media for building a perception around the team, and it seems he has found a supporter in Pep Guardiola!
The Manchester City boss spoke on the scheduled FA Cup final clash ahead of his team’s against Brighton. Guardiola gave Manchester United their flowers, claiming it isn’t easy to make it to two finals in back-to-back seasons. The Spaniard stated, “A big success for both clubs, two years in a row being in the FA Cup final. It’s a big success, and we have time to prepare for that game. Still, we have six finals in the Premier League, and after we have one week to prepare for the final.”
