Ten Hag fires back at mediaCalls reaction to FA Cup win 'embarrassing'Hails back-to-back finals as 'magnificent'WHAT HAPPENED?
United were subjected to scathing criticism from pundits and journalists after their penalty shootout win against Championship side Coventry City, having thrown away a 3-0 lead before being given a reprieve in extra-time when Victor Torp's 121st-minute goal was disallowed for a fractional offside.

"No. Absolutely not. You [the media] made enough and one the question: "is it embarrassing? No, the reaction from you was embarrassing. It is the comments," Ten Hag told a press conference on Tuesday. "Top football is about results, we made it to a final and we deserved it not only by this game but also the other games. We lost control for 20 mins, we also had bad luck, 3-2, 3-3. We were very lucky in the end, clear. Penalties was very good and we made it to the final, it is a huge achievement."
