Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson sends out his own verdict after Manchester United win vs Liverpool in the FA CUP quarter final

A seven-goal thriller allowed Manchester United to advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Liverpool was defeated by Manchester United.

Following a comeback victory over Liverpool by a score of 4-3, Manchester United secured their spot in the final four of the National Football League Cup.

Coventry City is waiting for them in the semi-final as Erik ten Hag’s team came back from behind twice to put an end to Jurgen Klopp’s hopes of pursuing four major titles. United had taken the lead after ten minutes thanks to a goal scored by Scott McTominay, but Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah scored two goals in a short amount of time.

However, Antony scored the equalizer, which was his second goal of the season, in the waning moments of the game. Marcus Rashford and Amad ultimately completed a victory that will be remembered for a long time over their North West rivals. The Ivorian player received a second yellow card for pulling off his shirt during the celebrations; nevertheless, he will not be available for their next Premier League match. nevertheless, he is expected to be ready for the match that will take place at Wembley Stadium in April.

A comparison was made between Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson’s team.

The following is an excerpt from an article written by Henry Winter for The Times: “In extra time of an extraordinary tie, Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United played like Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United of old, digging deep into their reserves of resilience and conjuring a famous finish.”

“Amad Diallo, one of a series of forward substitutes made by Ten Hag, won the ball, and the relentless Alejandro Garnacho reacted by racing sixty yards with his socks rolled down and his head up, checking on Diallo’s approach to his left. Garnacho’s counterattack was successful. Conor Bradley was pushed off balance, and Diallo, who is 21 years old and plays for United, calmly placed his left-foot shot past Caoimhin Kelleher, who reacted slightly late. Garnacho passed the ball to Diallo, and Diallo calmly sent it past Kelleher.

The fact that the ball hit the post and then over the line added to the majesty of the goal, which resulted in scenes of jubilation, with limbs everywhere and more than a few tears of ecstasy being shed. The atmosphere at Old Trafford has rarely been filled with such unbridled joy in the past few years. The experience was almost cathartic, as if it were a release of the frustration that had been building up amid the team’s struggles.

‘Perhaps Ten Hag was able to save himself’

“Manchester United were heading limply out of the FA Cup, again humiliated at Old Trafford by Liverpool, their season effectively over – and with it, Ten Hag’s dwindling hopes of remaining as manager,” stated Jason Burt of The Telegraph. “Manchester United were heading out of the FA Cup without winning.”

“And here he was turning to the misfit who cost £85 million, who was his largest signing and what he considered to be his worst error, and who, with one goal and no assists this season, had become a symbol of systematic failure.

“However, when the final, final whistle blew – following the last-gasp goal that was scored by another of Ten Hag’s substitutes, Amad Diallo – it felt as though everything had changed, and perhaps with it, Ten Hag had saved himself as well as this campaign. Despite the fact that Diallo had previously been booked, he was seen taking off his shirt during the celebrations, which resulted in him receiving a second caution. All of the mayhem was captured in that tumultuous moment.

This is a display of spirit that they have only occasionally produced.

“For United, it was a show of spirit that they have only infrequently produced this season,” observed Richard Jolley of the Independent. “This season has been all about United.” It was a significant victory for a team that, with the exception of two victories against Aston Villa, has only seldom triumphed over strong teams.

Ten Hag’s ability to motivate them and their ability to perform well under duress was a hint that they could still be motivated. It was another method for a manager whose first United victory was against Liverpool, which was against Liverpool 19 months ago, to exorcise the ghost of the 7-0 thrashing that United received the previous season….

However, when Ten Hag was feeling overwhelmed, his side displayed characteristics that were reminiscent of Sir Alex Ferguson. They never gave up trying. They realized that their season was about to end, and they gave it a new lease on life. The first person to appear was Rashford, and then Diallo. The game was turned around by United, who were behind after 112 minutes and ahead after 120 minutes; this might be considered a campaign and a reign as well. due to the fact that they had four objectives to target. In addition, Liverpool will not be able to win four trophies at this point.

This was the rush that United so urgently required.

The following is an excerpt from an article written by Andy Hunter of The Guardian: “United responded to their manager’s SOS call – save our season – by keeping two defenders on the pitch throughout the subsequent period of extra time.”

Antony, who had salvaged the quarter-final with an impressive impact at his natural position during normal time, was joined at left-back by Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot. However, for some reason, Antony was moved to full-back for the last thirty minutes of the match.

Ten Hag came to the conclusion that there was no need to control the adrenaline. United, Old Trafford, and his managerial reign were in desperate need of this rush so that they could move forward. And it was successful in every way. “The procession of attacking substitutions, including the match-winning striker, Amad Diallo, who caught the wild mood by getting sent off while celebrating his decisive strike, the shape, the instructions, and the spirit; it all paid off,” said the coach.

What the Manchester United dressing room has to say about Erik ten Hag was made clear during their match against Liverpool.

The enchantment of the FA Cup is still very much alive and strong, and Manchester United is well aware of this fact.

In the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, which took place on Sunday at Old Trafford, Manchester United played host to their arch rivals Liverpool. The match served as the ideal advertisement for the FA Cup, which is the oldest cup competition in England.

United got off to a great start thanks to a goal scored by Scott McTominay within the first ten minutes of the game. However, Liverpool replied by producing a lot of their own chances, and it always seemed like another goal was required to prevent the away team from getting back into the game before halftime.
