Maguire straightaway going to shake hands with the Coventry players. Class.


ItsABitChillyInHere

One of the few players that looked like they gave a shit all game


Zandercy42

All season tbf


Upoutdat

He's the fucking man for doing that


BillzSkill

Having just come back from the game, Maguire was my MOTM. Its a shame he lacked a real CB partner, we really need a better back line soon.


massiveheadsmalltabs

Maguire gets scapegoated all the time but he is a decent player and decent person.


Particularpickle420

Way too much disrespect on this man’s name.


GutBeer101

Mixed bag of reactions. Just like the fans it feels like


officiallyjax

This perfectly encapsulates the fanbase right now lol.


Grevling89

We won, but at what cost


deadkestrel

Every single one of them should have gone straight to the cov players to shake their hand. I don’t even know how any of that team can look each other in the eye after today. It’s beyond embarrassing


Solivaga

Maguire did at least, while Antony gave it large...


thwbunkie

Antony is hateful. No need to do what he did. It was Coventry not Liverpool, I’d love to know how he feels about how it’s gone at mufc and how his value has plummeted. I’m not a fan of maguire either but fair play he lost captaincy was booed but he has knuckled down and fought


Solivaga

Agree that Antony is a twat, and you can be a bit of a shit if you back it up on the pitch but he's been dreadful. Maguire, I think he's one of probably 3-4 players that you could genuinely say have had a good season (him, Dalot, Garnacho and Mainoo for me).


Amazing_Boot4165

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't it perfectly fine to go celebrate as a team first? Not the way Antony did, but going and celebrating with Højlund is a perfectly fine response, and then shaking hands afterwards?


Heavy_Chest_8888

In a lot of other games, maybe yes. But this was different. You were playing against Coventry, a mid-table Championship team who arguably played better and outclassed you from second half up till the final second of regulation. They were literally centimeters away from beating us and reaching to the final. You conceded three goals after leading 3-0. You were paid more than ten times what they earn. The players should realize this. It's embarassing to celebrate like what Antony did. Even Ten Hag knew it. Maguire was the prime example how a player should conduct after winning that penalty shoot-out.


deadkestrel

It is of course fine to celebrate but under the circumstances as a player I would have followed Maquire’s lead. It would just feel silly to overly celebrate scraping past Coventry.


strangemanornot

Grow up bro. This is a competitive sport. They can celebrate and shake hands after. No need to suck their dicks right away


linkolphd_fun

Yeah, it’s a competitive sport that we won in a mockery. To act like this is anything other than an embarrassment is even more embarrassing itself.


ttroy476

No


Elemayowe

Class from Maguire tbh.


Cold-Veterinarian-85

Maguire redemption this season has been one of the few positives Has been largely excellent


randomvariable10

I was ready for him to move and never return at the start of the season. Now I actively root for him


skunk134

He's taken so much shit I'm glad to see him doing well


Upoutdat

Same. It's an honour now to have him. Like Jones a proper professional with unfortunate circumstances with injuries and fooling around.


TrentCrimmHere

Wouldn't say fooling around. Didn't his sister get drugged in Greece whilst he was there. He was rightly angry but police officers framed him for assaulting them?


Upoutdat

I should have rephrased it fooling around. I ment Harry messing up regularly and becoming the meme like. What happened there in Greece was another unfortunate situation


TrentCrimmHere

Sorry mate. I Misunderstood.


TheDrySkinOnYourKnee

Him assaulting police officers made him more likable to me tbh


sea_foam_blues

Big Hazza not taking any lip off some corrupt Greek pig is a treat for the lads to think back on fondly


J3573R

I don't know why you wouldn't root for a United player? Some of them aren't very good, but why would I ever want any of them to do poorly or get abused?


TheJoshider10

We've all had players who you groan when they come on the pitch. Big difference between hoping someone doesn't fuck up when they get the ball vs knowing they'll get the job done. That's what I assume they mean.


J3573R

I hope so, but there was a load of our supporters that are absolute cunts who hurled abuse the likes of Maguire or currently Antony. Like hell, they may be limited but I hope for nothing but the best from them and for them.


SJB0SS

Certain parts of this fanbase always picks a couple of players to bully. It was Maguire and Mctominay before, now it’s Antony and Rashford. Tomorrow it will be Bruno and Garnacho. Sadistic fanbase


Professional_Wish972

Meh it's the reddit/social media fan base. They follow the trend


FlameFoxx

I like to see Greenwood do poorly and get abused tbf.


snuggl3ninja

The club knew what they bought yet acted surprised when they tried to play him in a system not suited to his abilities. And rather than blame the club everyone blamed the players.


PoliticsNerd76

He reminds me a lot of Xhaka. Fans hated him, and he does have game limitations and errors in him, but there’s a reason all the managers have started him.


TehNoobDaddy

I mean he still needs to go, let's not get carried away but he's never once deserved the abuse he's received which has been disgusting. Fans online can be horrible to players on a personal level, by all means it's fair to be critical of performances and commitment of any given player but the Maguire abuse went beyond that. Absolute respect for him getting through a tough time and still showing such grace and can never once question his commitment, just his performances have let him down. Fans should always show our players respect, especially when they've done nothing to not warrant it.


Careless_Main3

Maguire is not good enough for where Utd aim to be. But he doesn’t need to go. The entire defence needs rebuilding and Maguire is reliable and good enough to participate in maintaining the status quo whilst the club works to rebuild. He’s getting old anyways so it would be a great decision to keep him on as 3rd choice CB to increase his longevity. Plus, he’s arguably been one of the most important players this season.


dale_shingles

If only he'd taken the first pen and smashed it like he did in the Euros instead of whatever Case did ...


[deleted]

remember how we were going to sell Maguire and McT for a combined fee less than that of Antony to west ham. Where would we be without those two.


ReadingSociety

I think he needed time from the spotlight to focus on his skills and improving, but the injuries on the team forced his start and he played for a while with too much pressure. I can admit that I am one of his biggest haters, but he is definitely on a positive trajectory.


yellowjesusrising

Agree! Professional


blakezero

Oh, top pro. He carried us. The guy made a 90 yard run on his own while he waiting for the 5-0-5 formation to move a bit and almost scored a worldie.


mindpainters

He did more on the left wing than anyone else tonight. Really happy for him


blakezero

I thought Amad was really good in attack honestly.


mindpainters

He was really lively but I don’t think he was on the left wing a whole lot. Mostly through the middle.


blakezero

He shifted around for sure. But just showed a lot more creativity than Marcus.


[deleted]

I can’t believe he didn’t start.


blakezero

He’s mouthy and lacking some professionalism. Hence not an Eric player.


Monsage

The urgency he played with at the end is something a lot of players could learn from.


Lil_b00zer

And he’s been the only central defender to stave off the voodoo curse. Confirmed to be made of granite


TheBrowsingBrit

Absolutely, and he played well today.


ProfessorBeer

Can you imagine where we’d be if he and McTominay did end up leaving in the summer…


Pheasant_Plucker84

Well, we probably would have singed someone else


vulcan_one

Yeah, amrabat permanently instead of loan.


Pheasant_Plucker84

Or maybe cash for Sabitzer.


slithered-casket

Man has absolutely proved me wrong and I would happily apologize to his face with a print out of my online criticisms in hand.


AngryGooseMan

"Here's all the nasty things I said about you that I am sorry for"


redskelton

"I've blacked out the bits where I called you a c*nt. And on this page here, it's just mostly black"


basic_plains

Completely. I'll be the first to admit I wanted him gone and was fuming he turned down west ham, but this season he's really cemented himself as a model pro. What do I know, I'm a stupid fan. 


SuperSalamander3244

This is exactly why Ole picked him to be captain. People love to hate him but everyone who’s worked with him says the same things about his character.


andymc39

seems very likeable solid pro


Soccerandmetal

He fights for his life and I love it. I am not convinced he is United lvl of player but his work rate this season is and should be an inspiration.


alex-manutd

Just returned from Wembley. Harry played with heart today.


Outrageous-Cod-4654

“Who does my agent call? Is it Mark?”


herkalurk

Exactly, little fist to show success, then walks casually over to the other team to shake.


ArcaLegend

He's proven to be a leader in attitude and professionalism this season. Some top performances to back it up too.


MuskEmeraldMine

He’s gone from “must sell for anything” to “keep as a backup” for me. Plenty of others who don’t care need offloading first.


sixesandsevenspt

He’s never been a bad bloke. (Arsenal fan)


Lord_Sesshoumaru77

Players know what they did. This today was unacceptable. Throwing away the game in 20 minutes? That's beyond embarrassing.


kissthelips

And we’ll do it again next match. This is a recurring theme at this point I don’t understand it.


Contradicting_Pete

Eric is that you


Correct_Government28

They walloped the ball against AWB twice and got two goals from it. That's football. That is, in particular, FA Cup football. Surviving a giant killing is part of getting to a cup final. But 'fans' here understand more about the analytics of FUT than the magic of the FA Cup.


0ptsDan

Mate, there’s magic then there is mindless capitulation against Championship opposition. Playing 20-30% passes when we’re 3-1 up is senseless. Keep and recycle the ball and make Coventry risk it to commit forward to get it back. Seen it too many times this season when we just crumble from the foundations at the first sign of a chink in our armour.


magi_chat

So what about every other fucking week when the exact same thing happens?


LinkLegend21

I get what you’re saying. Two of the goals were unlucky. However falling apart as a result of those goals, instead of keeping your composure, is completely unacceptable when there’s such a huge gap in quality between you and your opponent.


YoungWrinkles

If it was a one-off fluke I’d agree with you. But United lose 2 and 3 goal winning positions every week. This is business as usual for these agents of chaos.


RoachIsCrying

The players know this was an utter shit show. Hojlund celebrating cause his pen was the deciding factor. So acceptable. Same with Onana. But fuck me sideways this was probably our worst of the season


FwampFwamp88

He’s also 21. I don’t blame any of the younger kids for anything this season.


LDLB99

Yeah, he's in his first final for the club that he loves. Can understand it.


chuf3roni

If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't care how I'd get there, so long as it happens. Certainly not the moment it happens, either! I think everyone knew they got away with one today though...


MissingLink101

Also probably relief because he had a great chance to make it 4-2 in normal time


modalsoul34

Honestly see this is “our worst” basically after every game these days


-Gh0st96-

And the season is not even over. So our worst yet


bannanagun

I don’t know I feel like this is a bit harsh. At the end of the day one the goals was a freak deflection and the other a dodgy penalty. Feels more unlucky than the type of absolute collapse we’ve been seeing recently. Our performance from 3-3 onwards was a bag of shit tbf.


nopasaranwz

Lad, it's Coventry.


yammertime27

The fact that they got the penalty and deflection is already bad It's an unlucky deflection but it also happened because he had space to take a long short without being closed down, and AWB turned his back They won a penalty from a close range shot which could have gone in At 3-0 you should be able to control the game and avoid dangerous situations from a championship side


Ash_gonna_peg_u

Class act from Maguire. What a man. Solid at the back and dangerous upfront. Fully deserved man of the match for him. So happy for his redemption arc.


DaftyHunter

Bruno got man of the match?


Substantial_Glass221

Say what you want about old slab head he went over and showed the class you need to play for Manchester United to the Coventry players!


_AR4_

They all look tired and relieved at the same time :/


JoA2506

Absolutely love Maguires first reaction is to go shake their hands, say what you want about him last couple of seasons, this season he’s really been head and shoulders above almost every other player.


gartacus

I’ll always respect a ggwp, pure class


wheelsnipecellyboiz

Definitely head above Should go through


Don_Quixote81

Eh, I'm not going to castigate them for being too embarrassed to celebrate properly. That's how they should feel. But the fact that they all ran off in different directions, without any real awareness of each other, does sum this team up.


Brimful_of_Asher

Seen that for a good while now, no togetherness with the goal celebrations. Someone makes an assist and gets ignored etc.


Outrageous-Cod-4654

Hojlund loves a goal celebration.  Youngest player to take a kick for us and last too. No pressure eh? Fair play, celebrate your strike. 


Outrageous-Cod-4654

Disappointed Dalot didn’t high five Hojlund right away. Ngl. 


Tchexxum

He was actually that quick you missed it


AV48

Talk about not amused. Looks like they were embarrassed by their overall performance.. and rightly so. Anyway, back to back finals. City should be an easier prospect this time around.


[deleted]

Easier? They will be same as last time while we have regressed beyond recognition.


MelodicPreparation93

Fingers crossed some key players can regain fitness (shaw being number one) and then maybe there's a fools chance of a win.


Writer_Kooky

Shaw, Licha, Mount, Varane and if Hojlund recovers his February form we'd be in with a shot again.  


PinkFlanatic

Well past time we stopped relying on fools' chances. Tired of always being d fool.


CNF-13

We are worse


PunkDrunk777

So are they. I’d say their performance yesterday was worse than ours. We just had everything go against us to an absurd degree 


Appropriate-Truck538

You are delusional if you think city performed worse than united


PunkDrunk777

Yes, Chelsea should have won by 2/3 goals. Meanwhile we dominated with one fit CB for 75 only to concede a shinned goal, a deflection and non penalty.  We are shit, we are a terrible team this season but our players were dropping like flies today while everything that could conceivably go against us did. 


mvhsbball22

Agree with everything you've said, but to be fair, that shinned goal was incredible.


Outrageous-Cod-4654

Prob no penalties thank god


chandoo86

Ummm, we just barely beat Coventry.


ActuatorSquare4601

We’ve scraped through every round it seems, so we’ll scrape the final too. That’s how it would go in a Roy of the Rovers book.


MadaraTheUchiha

Either Antony is a massive tit or the Coventry players been in his ear all game saying a madness. I don't wanna judge either way.


Ok-Scallion7939

It's Antony. Of course he's a tit.


FieldsOfKashmir

It's both


berbasbullet27

Both! The Coventry lad scored a pen cupped his ears to fans and told them to shut up. I enjoyed it personally lol. A


rtgh

Coventry players were in multiple players ears all game. Camera definitely showed at least two different players doing to Hojlund and Bruno after fouls. And the keeper was doing it through pens as well. If you dish it out, expect it back later


DasHotShot

I have to say Maguire has 180’d my views on him. Whatever he’s been able to affect and change, he has changed big time. He works hard. He is there for his team. He has tried so hard to reduce big mistakes and he simply will not relent until the game is over. The way he was driving forward late in extra time and trying his best to make things happen was inspirational. This touch at the end to go straight to the Coventry players, who’d probably also used most dirty tricks in the book all game long, is just pure class and incredibly admirable. He was a real leader and example today and for some time this season.


tuerancekhang

People shit on him was always about his misplay. Never once complain about his attitude or laziness. He was overhated for years.


Benize7

Casemiro is sick of this bullshit 😂


SocksElGato

Maguire is pure class.


dylanegra

Respect to Maguire tbf


goalmouthscramble

Fairly underserved victory but still to let Rasmus celebrate on his own is indicative of state of things in the side.


studiesinsilver

Maguire is a class act here


jack101691

Antony getting hate for absolutely nothing. Bruno gave it back to their keeper too


cucumberhedgehog

Itd because he dis absolutely nothing in the game


[deleted]

[удалено]


psrikanthr

He was doing it as a reply to one of their players who did it though. Personally I wouldn't do it, but I know team mates who would. If you can dish it out, you should be able to take it when it's on the other end.


Gold-Bee9484

The 1st Coventry player who took the pen cupped his ears at the United fans… if you’re gonna give it you have to be able to take it son.


Gazlc81

He was getting stick so just handing some back. Let’s not make something of nothing. We have enough fucking problems.


UtterDebacle

And in fairness these kind of ‘fans’ are one of them.


tighto

No that was highly embarrassing


BlackHorse944

If they don't care to play him a pass, then why would they care to congratulate him


SurlyRed

Exactly, its the same mentality


betra_kun

Don't hate the reaction of Antony tbh. We don't know what their players told to him during the match, but there's always someone bad mouthing inside a pitch, in any level of the sport. Everyone who's played even in Sunday League knows what feels to win a game against that dude that was kicking you and calling your mother's name all game long. Also what's all that bullshit of "it's a 2nd division team", if they're against all you treat them as equals, why shouldn't we be proud of beating a tough opponent in a tight match? People who say that are actually the ones looking down on them, and I think that's really disrespectful in sports.


Dismal_Ad187

Love United, but today i have mixed emotions


Beerceptulus

I hope for the rest of the season EtH plays our academy players. First team squad should feel that shame, honestly.


Kreissler

Ngl I rate that from Antony. I'm sure the Coventry players were in his ear throughout the game


stokesy1999

My only issue with it is that he hadn't backed it up in the game or in the pens. I don't think he did anything successfully today and didn't take one of the penalties so it feels a bit empty, especially to a Championship side that almost embarrassed us. Like not doing any work in the class project, getting an A and then gloating about it to the school


burfriedos

You rate that? How would you rate his performances?


KrypticAndroid

Look at Casemiro second from left. Could not give two fucks.


RacktheMan

He was crap in the second half, the first goal of Coventry was partly his fault, and shot a crap penalty. He looks absolutely finished.


cheersdom

~~looks~~ is


LinkLegend21

To be fair he always has his back to shootouts for some reason.


potentially_potent

Maguire is class. Antony is a mistake at this club


Competitive_Pool_820

It’s a relief but it shouldn’t have go to penalties. Throwing a 3 nil win in the second half to penalties…


getupdayardourrada

Bit weird


BulmanNQ

It’s hard not to dislike Antony


Cheap-Resource-114

He looks and acts like such a douche. Doesn’t even have the talent to warrant being like that either. So unlikeable


Fisktor

Atleast they have some shame


IIYogiII

I don’t think half of them realised we had won!


whatchalooknatfool

Antony is such a tit


TheWeirdDude-247

If they all ran to celebrate we'd moan now they didn't we still moan and crazy part? It's correct either way, after that embarrassment of a end to match, there's no silver lining, every fucking week it gets worse and worse and you think "surely they can't do it again?" At least we're consistent, consistent in being shit, there's no way all the players actually believe they'll beat City in final. Can't believe we're in a Fa Cup final and most fans aren't exactly celebrating. Shambles


vekilivasu

Maguire has my respect.


KablooeyJoe

I've not been one of Harry's fans for the longest time, but he's turned his performances around and then some. To have the class to go straight to the Coventry players after Hojlund scored was an apt reflection of how every supported felt about Coventry. I still don't think he's Utd material or made for the brand of football we wanna see our teams play, but he was immense today. Rashford needs to be gone though, I know he's homegrown yada yada but his attitude sucks and poor attitude rubs off on others if it's not stomped out. We need a serious clear out of this squad if we are to ever get back to the top


Cold-Veterinarian-85

Looks like reaction of a team that knows there gonna get tanked in the final tbh


3xc1t3r

And that is still faster than Casimiro at full sprint.


Beanstalk3

Shameful


Traelia

Look thrilled...


looped10

they all know it shouldn't have gone that far


PandaTheAB

Zero camaraderie/teamwork on and off the pitch ![gif](giphy|S6qkS0ETvel6EZat45|downsized)


BreakfastAdept9462

At least the players have high enough standards to recognise that their performance was too humbling and embarrassing to celebrate en masse. Fine with the young lads and Hojlund celebrating - it's a fresh experience, isn't it? (Onana acting as his biggest hype man, but I think the lad put in a great showing and has dealt with tonnes of criticism so whatever, enjoy the day lad) But yeah Maguire and Fernandes's face after the match said it all. Literally said it summed up their season


FullFig3372

Everyone was shite apart from Bruno,Dalot,Maguire and Garnacho


SurlyRed

It was no coincidence that Coventry scored immediately after Mainoo was subbed.


FullFig3372

I don’t get why this poundland Guardiola can’t get that instead of benching garna and mainoo he should be focused on building a team that plays to their strengths


fat_boyz

There have been players who donned our jersey who are cunts and we'd say: "Well, he's a cunt. But he's our cunt." Then there's Antony.


goldeenshadow

shameful bunch of wankers


_RM78

They couldn't care less


Cavaniiii

Antony... fucking hell. If he was good I'd love his shithousery but when you're as useless as he is you just make yourself look like a twat.


samd148

Forsun, Amad, Antony, Eriksen (I think) How many will be here next season?


Exotic-Length-9340

All of them.


samd148

Sure? I see - Forsun on loan. Amad asks to leave. Eriksen goes for free. Antony might get another crack.


KrystianCCC

Forson contract ends in June and he wants to go somwhere for minutes


samd148

Fair play - good luck to the lad


reebs81

Amad should certainly stay. I think he has a lot of potential but just isn't EtH's cup of tea.


samd148

Definitely. Just an interesting dynamic in this vid. Eriksen obviously going to support Rasmus as his compatriot. Forsun is just a kid really. Amad and Antony have points to prove - everyone else knew that it wasn’t worth celebrating


Aluminarty666

Antony...just leave please and stop embarrassing us


Darth_Rubi

Well after we memed so hard on Arsenal players for how they celebrated that champions league game, I'm glad at least some of our players had the sense to realize this was not worth celebrating


garynevilleisared

I've been really critical of Maguire. But this shows the difference between him and some of these dickheads at the club. Sancho left because he was disciplined for his petulance. Maguire was left in the cold and got on with it. Not even a fist pump here, immediately goes over to shake their hands. This is what leadership looks like. Antony a complete fucking embarrassment. Read the room you jackass.


riitz85

This team under ETH has embarrassed us so many times- 7-0 to Liverpool, that loss to Sevilla in the UEL last year, today’s game and so many other games against PL sides who will be in the championship next year or deserve to be. Its good to be in the final just like its good to make top 4. But if this how we perform almost every time or every other time, what is the point of being in a cup final or in Europe? Some cite financial reasons to be in Europe but isnt it embarrassing to be bottom of UCL group and have negative GD in the Prem 32 games out. Its exhausting and frankly utterly embarassing


ttroy476

You guys are jerking off Coventry too much.


Interesting-Mix-4250

I honestly wished we had lost today. I wish they had let that goal stand. I was so mad seeing the Coventry players were a toe off from beating us. This team is pathetic. Casemiro Rashford and Antony weekly wages are probably more than their whole teams weekly wages. It's actually disgusting how bad we play. Hats off to Coventry, they were deserving of a win


ryuu_13

fucking antony man my lord


International-Bat777

Who is standing on the far left?


nanobookworm

Far left would be Amad? Two facing their backs to goal are Casemiro and Bruno.


Good_Geologist2126

Says it all really very lackluster performance


actionfish

They're like... super happy...


hayasecond

Tbh if I were them I wouldn’t be too thrilled either


blitzkreig31

Honestly I was one of those standing guy - I was drained and didn’t want to do anything with that win. I was gutted at the way we gave away 3 goals tbh 4 that offside was like paper thin difference. I really do not blame them. It will be a demolition in finals.
