Coventry City vs Manchester United: Head to Head
It has been a while since Coventry City have faced Manchester United regularly in the top division, but in the times they did in the past, the Red Devils held a significant advantage. Manchester United won 43 matches against them, while Coventry could only manage 23.
Coventry City
This is the first time Coventry City will be up against Manchester United since 2007, where Coventry defeated Sir Alex Ferguson’s United 2-0 in the League Cup. Their form in the second division has been a bit shaky and they find themselves a little distance away from the playoff spots. Their ambitions of featuring in the top division might not come true this year, but Coventry are looking to make their mark with a big show in the FA Cup.
Manchester United
Manchester United’s last victory in professional football was in this competition, when they overcame Liverpool 4-3 in a dramatic 120-minute encounter at the Old Trafford to make it to the semi-finals. After that, they dropped points in their next four matches, one of which ended in a defeat to Chelsea. Interestingly, United had the lead in all of these matches and yet ended up dropping a whopping nine points, which sees far away from the Champions League spots currently.
