Furious Man United boss Erik ten Hag REFUSES to answer questions from critical journalists after win over Sheffield United

Erik ten Hag refused to take questions from journalists who were critical of him and Man United after their dramatic FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry City.

United edged past their Championship opponents at Wembley on Sunday, but their victory wasn’t without drama after they squandered a three-goal lead before triumphing 4-2 on penalties.

Coventry also had a goal chalked off in extra time by VAR when USA striker Haji Wright was marginally offside before he squared to Victor Torp to tuck home.

The Dutchman was unhappy with a question after their win over Sheffield United asking what directors Dave Brailsford and newly-appointed chief Jason Wilcox would have made of United losing control after going 2-1 down to the Blades.

‘We were totally in control. I’ve seen a different game, sorry. We had two giveaways, two times we were behind so we talk about two negatives – one is focus and one is discipline.

‘But for the rest I think we were totally in control. The team showed resilience. It is not easy when you are losing the game but we turned it around against a compact team. We outplayed them. We were calm.’

In truth, it has been a torrid season for the Red Devils, with the club failing to build upon their achievements of winning the Carabao Cup and finishing third in Ten Hag’s first year at the club.
