Manchester United great Roy Keane reckons the current crop were probably "too embarrassed" to celebrate their victory over Coventry City properly. United scraped through to the FA Cup final - where they will meet neighbours Manchester City - with a penalty shootout win against Championship opponents.
Goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes put United in control beneath the famous arch. However, despite leading 3-0 with 19 minutes to go in normal time, Erik ten Hag's side were pegged back and then taken to penalties following an additional 30 minutes in which they might have lost it.
Victor Torp saw a would-be winner ruled out for offside - after VAR intervention - before United went through on penalties. Their players sheepishly celebrated in front of those who had made the trip from Manchester and Keane understands why after such an underwhelming display.

The iconic ex-United captain told ITV Sport: "For the United players and supporters, they weren't really going over the top with their celebrations because that they know they were lucky. They had the game won at 3-0 and were almost embarrassed to win at the end. They are in the cup final and got the job done.
"Every time I see this United team, I don't like what I see. They are hard to like."
Keane, 52, added: "They just play in moments, we mentioned it after the game. You go on about leadership and character. I don't see any of this in this United group.
"It's game-management when you are 3-0 up, you don't give a Championship club any sort of hope they can get back in the game. But that's what they do, they give up chances and goals, and we've seen it all season so I don't see why we are that surprised. My goodness they rode their luck again."
