Erik Ten Hag insisted he was not embarrassed but admitted Manchester United “got away with it” after edging past Championship Coventry on penalties in their FA Cup semi-final.The Premier League outfit were given an almighty scare at Wembley on Sunday as the second-tier side fought back from 3-0 down and then had a late extra-time winner disallowed for a marginal offside.A thrilling contest ended 3-3 after 120 minutes and it was United who ultimately prevailed, 4-2 on spot-kicks, to set up a repeat of last year’s final against rivals Manchester City.It was another highly unconvincing performance by United – which may have increased the pressure on under-fire manager Ten Hag – but the Dutchman tried to highlight the positives.Ten Hag said: “I can’t say that word (embarrassment) because, at the end of the day, it’s about the achievement.“I see the mistakes we make – we can’t look away from it – but it’s not an embarrassment. It’s a huge achievement.“Even the big team from United, a decade ago, only achieved the final three times. We now have two times in two years. So that’s a good performance.“I see we can play in very high levels but in the same match we can also go very low. That’s not explainable. It has to do with managing the game.SOURCE: PA
