"There is hope" -- Coventry City star trolls Manchester United

Coventry City’s astonishing FA Cup journey reached new heights as they secured a spot in the semi-finals of the prestigious tournament, setting the stage for a highly anticipated showdown against Manchester United.

In a thrilling quarter-final match against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday, Coventry City displayed remarkable resilience.

Despite trailing at the end of regular time, the Championship side staged a dramatic comeback with two injury-time goals, sealing a sensational 3-2 victory.

Their triumph sets up a Wembley encounter with Manchester United, who secured their own semi-final berth following a gripping 4-3 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Coventry City’s progression to the semi-finals marks a historic moment for the club, as they haven’t reached this stage of the FA Cup since their memorable triumph in 1987, when they clinched victory over Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling 3-2 encounter after extra time.

Should Coventry City overcome the formidable challenge posed by Manchester United, a potential final clash against either Chelsea or defending champions Manchester City awaits.

Reflecting on the upcoming semi-final clash, Coventry City’s Dutch right-back, Milan van Ewijk, didn’t shy away from expressing confidence in his team’s abilities.

In a statement to ZiggoSport, van Ewijk took a subtle dig at Manchester United, suggesting that the draw had been favorable to Coventry City.

“The draw is alright,” remarked the 23-year-old.

“Against Man City you pretty much have no chance. With all due respect, Man United is a top club but they have games where it doesn’t go well.”
