Man Utd winger Antony excited facing Coventry in FA Cup semi

Manchester United winger Antony is excited ahead of their FA Cup semi against Coventry City.

Antony scored in their famous quarterfinal win against Liverpool.

He told manutd.com: "Playing in a semi-final in such a historic stadium is really important.

“Even though they are in the Championship, we have to respect them as they didn't reach an FA Cup semi-final by chance.

“I'm looking forward to the game and how good it will be, we'll study the opposition to be prepared to meet our objective.

“We know how important the FA Cup is, and it's really important for us and the fans to win this trophy.

“We're really grateful to the fans for their support at every game, they're always behind us. We owe this trophy to them, because they support us every day."

On the Liverpool goal, he smiled: “I'll remember the feeling for the rest of my life.

“Before the game, I had a feeling that something good was going to happen, I'd even shared this with a team-mate.

“I'm happy to have helped my team-mates with an important goal towards getting the win. It was a very memorable day."
