Manchester United will face an unfamiliar opponent this Sunday as they meet Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium.
Erik ten Hag is eager for a shot at FA Cup redemption after last season’s dismal loss to Manchester City in the final.
However, a rematch with Manchester City is on the cards for United only if they overcome Coventry. The Championship club poses an unknown challenge, prompting United fans to wonder who might be their key threats.
Haji Wright
Haji Wright has emerged as a prolific scorer for Coventry this season, showcasing his versatility as a forward both on the wing and up front. With a tally of 17 goals and six assists, he could exploit a potentially weakened Manchester United defense.
Josh Eccles
Josh Eccles stands out as Coventry’s midfield linchpin and is expected to play a pivotal role against United. His absence in their recent match was deeply felt, highlighting his importance to the team’s performance.
Ellis Simms
Ellis Simms, recruited to fill the void left by the linked-away Viktor Gyokeres, has proven to be a valuable asset for Coventry. With an impressive 22 goals this season, he poses a significant threat to United’s defense. Amad Diallo, who played alongside Simms at Sunderland, acknowledges his former teammate’s capabilities, underscoring the need for readiness among his current teammates for the upcoming clash.
“We are eager for the game against Coventry,” Diallo expressed to club media. “I will reunite with Ellis Simms, the striker and my former teammate. I believe my teammates are prepared for the challenge, aiming for victory and advancement to the final.”
