Victory his never been less glorious than this for Man Utd, says Dave Kidd

By Dave Kidd

PROBABLY only Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United could book a place in an FA Cup final while hanging their heads in shame.

Minutes after the final whistle of this ridiculous semi-final, Coventry’s magnificent underdogs were performing a lap of honour to their cheering fans — while most of United’s players and supporters had disappeared.

Then the Wembley PA system started blaring out ‘Glory, Glory Man United!’ and everybody started laughing out loud.

Victory has never been less glorious.

As a party-starter, it fell flat. As a stab at dark humour, it was sensational.

Even by United’s standards of low farce this was ridiculous.

Now even the unlikely scenario of a final victory over City is unlikely to save Ten Hag’s job.

After all, Louis van Gaal was axed days after United last won this competition in 2016 and his side were never as bad as this current lot.

Rangnick was appointed as United's interim manager following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's dismissal.

He took charge of 29 games during his time at Old Trafford.

The manager won 11 games and suffered nine defeats.

Rangnick has also managed the likes of Stuttgart, Schalke and RB Leipzig.
