Roy Keane has slammed Manchester United for letting their 3-0 lead against Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final slip following a bizarre 15 minutes at Wembley Stadium.

United had raced into a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes. However, the Championship side showed great resilience to score three second-half goals.

Former Everton striker Ellis Simms grabbed the first in the 71st minute before Callum O'Hare's fortunate strike made it 3-2. American forward Haji Wright dramatically levelled from the penalty spot in injury-time after an Aaron Wan-Bissaka handball.

Failure to see out their comfortable lead was greeted with loud boos from the section of United fans at Wembley after a disappointing collapse.

Speaking on ITV, Keane did not shy away from criticising the Reds. "I can't believe what I am watching," he said. "You are 3-0 up, you are coasting, you start slowing the game down, you are looking for leadership.

"You see the goalkeeper messing around. Obviously once that goal went in for Coventry you have got confidence, momentum and it is all about Coventry now but United if they don't get over the line in this game.

"I don't know what to say... Shocking."
