Erik ten Hag’s men had been cruising at 3-0 up with just 20 minutes remaining when Coventry launched a stunning comeback.

The Championship side netted a last-gasp equaliser to force the game to extra-time.

And they thought they had won it in the 120th minute before the goal was cruelly disallowed by VAR for the narrowest of margins.

United went on to win the shootout, despite Casemiro missing their first penalty.

But earlier in the game, supporters were left amazed by a fellow fan who predicted Coventry would “come back” against United following the introduction of Antony from the bench.

Ten Hag’s Brazilian winger was introduced in the 66th minute with his side in the driving seat.

But five minutes later Coventry scored.

The “time travelling” fan in question tweeted as Antony came on: “The Coventry comeback starts here.”
