Manchester United emerged victorious over Coventry City in a nail-biting penalty shootout.

While the Red Devils secured their spot in the final, there were some poor performances from key players on the pitch.

Marcus Rashford

The England international struggled to make an impact during the match. Despite his efforts, he was denied twice by Coventry's goalkeeper Bradley Collins.

However, his second attempt, which struck the woodwork, ultimately led to a corner kick from which United scored.

Unfortunately, Rashford seemed to fade in the second half, failing to maintain his earlier momentum.

Rasmus Hojlund

The Denmark international, making his fifth successive start for United, continued to struggle in finding the back of the net.

Despite his efforts, the Danish forward has failed to score in any of these appearances, exposing a concerning regression in his performance since sustaining an injury in February.

Some critics have labeled him as a "boy among men" on the pitch. However, he managed to redeem himself by converting the winning penalty for his team.

Casemiro

The Brazil international, who was deployed in an unfamiliar position at center back due to Willy Kambwala's absence through injury, failed to impose his usual dominance.

Furthermore, his penalty attempt was less than impressive, adding to his underwhelming performance.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

The England international found himself targeted by Coventry's attacks throughout the match.

Unfortunately, his defensive capabilities were put to the test, and Coventry managed to exploit his weaknesses.
