‘Levels of class’: Two United players’ post-match reactions towards Coventry show they’re worlds apart

Manchester United booked their place in the FA Cup final after what can only be described as an turbulent night of action at Wembley.

Despite the Reds leading their opponents 3-0 in the 71st minute of the tie, Coventry City’s resurgent second-half turnaround forced extra-time when the referee blew his whistle after 90 minutes.

It comes as yet another dismal performance to add to the catalogue that we’ve seen from United this season, and any showing replicant of that against Manchester City in the final will have significant ramifications on their dignity – and the fans’.

If it wasn’t for a somewhat questionable VAR decision flagging Coventry’s winner as offside, United would have exited the competition tonight to Championship opposition, and nobody could’ve argued that they didn’t deserve it.

Alas, the Sky Blues’ two scored penalties to United’s four meant their remarkable campaign came to an end.

Antony’s shameless post-match reaction

After Rasmus Hojlund’s converted spot-kick to seal the tie, Antony reportedly turned to the Coventry end and cupped his ears towards the defeated players. Meanwhile, Tyrone Marshall claims that Harry Maguire headed swiftly across the turf to shake hands with each of his opponents, perfectly displaying the difference in their ‘levels of class’. Worlds apart.

United win the shootout and Antony turns to the Coventry players and cups his ears. Harry Maguire walks across to shake hands with them. Levels of class there #mufc
