Is Manchester United vs Coventry on TV? Kick off time, channel and how to watch FA Cup semi-final


Manchester United take on Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday, with the competition offering their last chance of silverware this season.

Erik Ten Hag’s side knocked out local rivals Liverpool in the last round, but have struggled for form since, drawing against Brentford, Liverpool and Bournemouth and losing to Chelsea.

In fact, since the quarter-final on March 17, United have not won a match, and even on that occasion, they needed extra time to do so.

Coventry have not been in the semi-finals of English football’s oldest competition since they lifted the trophy back in 1987, as manager Mark Robins prepares to take on the club he made 48 appearances for between 1988 and 1992.
