FA Cup semi-final: Build up to Coventry v Man Utd radio & text

Manchester United have not won a game since beating Liverpool in a thrilling FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford.

Conceding late goals at Brentford and Chelsea, plus in the league game against Liverpool a fortnight ago has effectively wrecked their hopes of securing Champions League football next season.

With Sir Jim Ratcliffe, once he gets to Wembley after his London Marathon exploits, joined in the Royal Box today by fellow co-owners Joel and Avram Glazer, there is a feeling a defeat today would make it impossible for manager Erik ten Hag to remain in his job next season.

Ten Hag is not listening to all the talk.

He is more interested in United's lengthy injury list.

"I don’t have any concern about what is said on the outside," he said.

"What concerns me is that in 18 months I have never had my favourite team on the pitch. That concerns me because the players are injured.

"One time (I could pick my strongest XI) was against City last season in the home game. That was the only time where we had a full squad.

"I know when we have so many injuries in crucial positions, you can’t deliver the results you want.

"That is my truth. Others can have a different truth. But I can’t put energy in that."
