BREAKING: Manchester City Vs Manchester United 2024 #FACupFinal Confirmed

BREAKING: Manchester City Vs Manchester United 2024 #FACupFinal Confirmed—-The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Manchester United has just defeated Coventry City and set to play Manchester United in FA Cup Final.

The second FA Cup semi-final between Coventry City and Manchester United could barely have been any more dramatic on Sunday evening as it went the distance in thrilling fashion. United appeared to be cruising very comfortably with a convincing 3-0 lead late into the second half, but somehow they managed to concede three goals as the Championship side roared back. United won after a shoot-out.

Manchester United will face Manchester City in the 2024 FA Cup final after surviving a sensational recovery from 3-0 down by Championship side Coventry City to prevail 4-2 on penalties at Wembley.

The Sky Blues, managed by former Red Devils striker Mark Robins, thought they had won it late in extra time, but substitute Victor Torp’s strike was ruled out for offside.

It was a huge reprieve for United and they went on to triumph in the shoot-out with Rasmus Hojlund netting the winning kick after misses from Casemiro, Callum O’Hare and Ben Sheaf.

The Red Devils were heavy favourites to progress and led 2-0 at the interval courtesy of goals from Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire.

Erik ten Hag’s men then looked to have moved out of sight just prior to the hour when Bruno Fernandes’ deflected shot flew in at the near post.

However, Ellis Simms gave the Sky Blues faithful something to cheer with a superb goal 19 minutes from time before O’Hare’s deflected shot set up a barnstorming finale.

United were hanging on but were forced to extra time when Haji Wright converted a dramatic stoppage-time penalty.

Simms almost won it for the Sky Blues four minutes from the end of extra time but his shot somehow failed to bounce in off the bar while Torp’s strike fell victim to VAR.

United somehow survived and will now meet City in a repeat of the all-Manchester final from last year on May 25.
