Manchester United relieved some of the pressure on Erik ten Hag by beating Coventry City at Wembley today to get to the FA Cup final.
In a season of ups and downs, Ten Hag will be delighted to get to a final and in with a chance of winning a major trophy.
Manchester City will await them in what will be a tough ask for United. But with it just being one game and City apparently running on fumes – if you believe their manager – there could be a chance for United to win out.
Today, Ten Hag saw some of his big performers step up when it mattered.
Scott McTominay got the opener, before Harry Maguire scored just before the break and Bruno Fernandes netted around the hour mark to seal the deal.
Of course, one of the stories that has dominated the run up to the semi-final has been Alejandro Garnacho’s poor response to being subbed last week.
Since then, Erik ten Hag has disciplined his winger but still afforded him the start at Wembley today before eventually taking him off at 3-0 up.
However, according to the BBC’s Simon Stone, it looks like Garnacho could once again be about to feel some sort of wrath from his manager.
What Alejandro Garnacho did when he was subbed at Wembley for Manchester United today
Commentating on the game for the BBC, Simon Stone noted how Garnacho went about his business when subbed off today.
And while he shook hands with his manager, his overall reaction wasn’t overly impressive once more.
“After apologising for liking a couple of social media posts when he was taken off at Bournemouth last week, Alejandro Garnacho shook Erik ten Hag’s hand when he was replaced by Antony,” Stone said.
“He didn’t look too impressed on his long, slow walk to the touchline though. It is a bit disrespectful to the player who is coming on.”
Certainly, it seems like young Garnacho has a bit of a bee in his bonnet about certain things.
In fairness to Ten Hag, he has had a number of these sorts of issues to deal with.
This one will probably be a bit of nothing. But Garnacho must be careful and he cannot make a habit of this sort of thing.
