This was victory in name only for Man United as they stumble and fumble like drunks in the dark into the FA Cup final, writes IAN LADYMAN

They keep telling us the FA Cup doesn’t matter. Goals from Ellis Simms, a deflected shot from Callum O’Hare and then a penalty scored by the magnificent Haji Wright in the 93rd minute reduced Erik ten Hag’s United team to an incompetent, disorientated rabble. Coventry skipper Ben Sheaf skied his penalty to hand Man United a chance to win the game Andre Onana saved Callum O'Hare's spot kick to hand the advantage back to the Red Devils Scott McTominay tapped in from close range to open the scoring at Wembley on Sunday Harry Maguire rose above the Coventry defence to head home Man United's second goal Bruno Fernandes gave United what looked to be an unassailable 3-0 lead just before the hour Ellis Simms pulled a goal back for the Championship side to spark dreams of a recovery And, in the end, that was how close Coventry came to a final with Manchester City back here next month. Coventry fans were in full voice for much of the game and were given something to celebrate after Simms' strike Callum O'Hare's wayward effort deflected off the back of a United defender and lopped over Andre Onana into the Red Devils goal Haji Wright calmly slotted his 95th minute penalty past Onana to draw Coventry level Coventry boss Mark Robins was the coolest man in the building during his team's surge For a while it looked as though Robins and his players would leave here having not made even a footprint on the game. Erik ten Hag and his side were left stunned by Coventry's remarkable recovery at Wembley Sir Jim Ratcliffe had raced back from the London Marathon to join majority owner Avram Glazer at Wembley for the game Victor Torp thought he had given Coventry a winner at the end of extra-time but the goal was disallowed for an offside in the build-up Onana saved one of Coventry's penalties before seeing another fly high over his bar From that point on, Coventry were the better team.
