Fans believe that the FA Cup semi-final draw ceremony proved unprofessional, thereby creating favorable conditions for MU to meet Coventry.

Manchester United won the ticket to the semi-finals in an emotional way. The joy was doubled for the Red Devils when their opponent in the semi-finals was Championship team Coventry.

It is known that the draw was made just a few minutes after MU had an incredible 4-3 comeback victory over Liverpool. The other pair of matches witnessed a confrontation between defending champions Manchester City and Chelsea, who defeated Leicester 4-2 yesterday (March 17).

But the lucky draw helped MU put one foot in the final, which made many fans feel doubtful.

The draw took place live on ITV, with Ian Wright drawing a random ball in front of Roy Keane and Graeme Souness in the studio. Eyes followed Wright as he rummaged through his famous velvet bag for balls before presenting them to the television cameras.

However, what makes the audience wonder is that the organizers do not let viewers know in advance which number is related to which team. And the feeling that the FA Cup semi-final draw ceremony was not as formal as the draw ceremonies of other tournaments. Teams are also drawn directly from the bag instead of having their names in the balls as is traditional.

This method of drawing lots caused some fans to protest the new “unprofessional” format, and said that this result was “the most obvious arrangement ever” due to the lack of transparency about the number of teams. .

The Sun quoted some comments from fans as follows:

One fan said: “This is the most unprofessional FA Cup draw I have ever seen.”

Another person stated: “FA Cup draw but didn’t say which numbers the teams correspond to before. ”

Another commented: “Since when do we have an FA Cup draw without announcing who each number is in advance?”

However, no fan has been able to provide any evidence for the claim that the draw was fixed and there have been no complaints from any of the clubs involved.

According to the schedule, both semi-finals will take place at Wembley. The first semi-final between MU and Coventry will take place on April 20 and the match between Man City and Chelsea will take place one day later. With the current draw results, fans are eagerly waiting for the rematch between the two Manchester teams, who also met in the FA Cup final last season with the championship for the blue half.
