Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford received a lot of criticism after missing ten in the match against Coventry in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Man United has a match against Coventry in the FA Cup semi-finals, taking place on the evening of April 21 (Vietnam time). Despite suffering many losses in terms of force, the Red Devils are still rated much higher than their opponents.
With the absence of many pillars in the defense, coach Ten Hag was forced to position Casemiro as a central defender alongside Harry Maguire. Even though he plays in a position against his strengths, the Brazilian player still leaves a strong impression.
In the 19th minute, in a situation where the ball was deployed from home, Casemiro had a classy pass that eliminated Coventry’s entire defense. The ball then went to Marcus Rashford and put the Englishman in a position facing the goalkeeper. However, in the final shot, Rashford shot out ungracefully.

Directly witnessing the English striker’s miss, Sky Sports journalist Peter Smith had to exclaim: “Rashford didn’t believe it was a flicked ball. He should have finished better.”
Meanwhile, many fans also expressed frustration with Marcus Rashford’s performance. Some accounts have left comments mocking this striker, saying: “Rashford doesn’t even know how to dribble”; “Rashford plays so poorly” or “It’s tiring to see Rashford constantly finishing with his head down. If he doesn’t change soon, he won’t be able to become a class player.”
After Rashford’s unfortunate miss, MU had 3 goals to take the lead over Coventry thanks to goals from McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes. However, at the end of the match, Coventry suddenly had 3 consecutive equalizers thanks to Simms, O’Hare and Wright.
Man United was held by Coventry with a score of 3-3 after 90 minutes of official play and had to enter the 30-minute period of the half. If it weren’t for Marcus Rashford’s unfortunate miss, it’s likely that the Red Devils would have won in the official match time.
