Is Andre Onana suspended for Manchester United's FA Cup final vs Man City?
Andre Onana was shown two yellow cards as nervy Manchester United edged past Coventry City to book their place in the FA Cup final. However, the goalkeeper was not sent-off for his antics in the penalty shootout and he will not be suspended for their upcoming final vs Manchester City either.
Goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes had United coasting through to the showpiece, but their Championship opponents hit back in a pulsating end to the game. Coventry scored three goals during the final 19 minutes and stoppages to force extra-time and then spot kicks.
Casemiro, operating as a makeshift centre-back due to United's ongoing injury crisis, missed first up from 12 yards before Onana saved from Callum O'Hare down to his right-hand side. Onana then had a major part to play in what proved to be the decisive spot kick from Coventry's Ben Sheaf - which was blazed over the crossbar.

As the Coventry player made his way to the penalty spot from halfway to place the ball down, Onana stood up to him and offered up a few verbals. As a result, the Cameroon international, who was cautioned in normal time - was shown another yellow card by Robert Jones.
Ordinarily, that would have seen him receive his marching orders. However, in a law that was highlighted in similar fashion by Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez in their Europa Conference League win over Lille on Thursday night, bookings are not carried beyond the final whistle.
It meant Onana - like Martinez - was able to continue his part in the shootout. United are now set to take on their treble-winning neighbours City in a repeat of last season's FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium; with that showdown penned in for May 25 and Onana available for selection.
