Manchester United’s recent match against Coventry saw them squander a commanding 3-0 lead and despite eventually securing a spot in the FA Cup final against Manchester City through a penalty shootout, the manner in which they qualified has left some many of their fans unhappy.
Below are the players who should be dropped for the next match;
Antony
The Brazil international on-field contributions during the match were less than satisfactory.
The 24-year-old’s failure to convert any of his four shots on target and his lackluster performance have led to criticisms of his continued inclusion in the starting lineup by Ten Hag.
Antony’s limited impact this season, with only two goals in the FA Cup and none in the Premier League, has drawn attention to the hefty price tag attached to his transfer from Ajax, making him one of the underwhelming signings in recent Premier League history.
Casemiro
The veteran midfielder’s penalty attempt during the shootout was deemed unwise and somewhat disrespectful.
Instead of opting for a shot placement, Casemiro attempted to chip the ball down the middle, which led to Coventry City goalie saving the first penalty.
The Ex-Real Madrid’s midfielder performance in defense alongside Harry Maguire was also not convincing, as his positioning allowed Coventry opportunities to stage a comeback in the second half.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
The England’s defender error leading to a late penalty for Coventry exposed defensive vulnerabilities in the team.
Wan-Bissaka’s struggles on the left side, due to United’s defensive injury crisis, were evident as his desperate attempt to block a cross resulted in a clear penalty situation for the opposition.
