Former Manchester United striker Mark Robins will be hoping to lead his side Coventry City side to an FA Cup giant-killing after being pitted up against the Reds in the semi-final draw.. United joined the Championship outfit in the last four on Sunday after a dramatic 4-3 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford. Amad scored in additional time at the end of extra time to secure one of the most explosive wins in the club’s history.. The Ivorian, who was sent-off for taking his shirt off and earning a second yellow card in the midst of the celebrations, was slipped in by Alejandro Garnacho and fired a low shot past Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher via the post. United had earlier clawed themselves level for a second time through Marcus Rashford.. READ MORE: United player ratings vs Liverpool as Reds reach FA Cup semi-finals.

United’s reward for getting the better of their historic rivals is a Wembley showdown with Coventry next month. The Sky Blues recorded a dramatic victory of their own on Saturday, beating Wolves 3-2 on Molineux.. After entering injury time 2-1 down, the Sky Blues drew level with 97 minutes on the clock through Ellis Simms, who had earlier scored, before Haji Wright made it 3-2 in the 100th minute, sparking pandemonium in the away end. Robins, who has overseen a remarkable rise since taking charge of Coventry for a second time in 2017, celebrated by running over to a Wolves ball boy and lapping up the victory in front of him.. Robins had earlier been frustrated by the ball boy, who was trying to help the home team run the clock down by refusing to pick the ball up after it had left the field of play. Robins, in his post-match press conference, apologised for his actions.. He said: “I apologise to the Wolves ball boy. He didn’t pick up the ball and smirked… when we scored the winner, I celebrated in front of him – I shouldn’t have done that.. “It really annoyed me, but he’s a kid, at the end of the day. I have reacted, we scored the goal and I went and celebrated in front of him.. “I apologise to him. I do not show emotion very often and before that happened I apologise to him, I don’t show emotion very often but that is what the FA Cup does to you. I apologise unreservedly to him.”. On the club reaching the semi-final stage of the FA Cup for the first time since 1987, Robins added: “We had to be brave and the confidence we’ve got, and they will take that into the rest of the season and there’s a Wembley trip for everyone to get excited about and you could see the reaction of everyone and that’s what it’s all about. “This is just another reward for everyone for all the hard work that they do and continue to do.”. Robins, who was a graduate of United’s academy in his playing career, made 61 appearances during his Reds career, scoring 16 goals.
