Manchester United scraped through to the FA Cup final after beating Coventry City on penalties following a 3-3 draw. Will success in the FA Cup show enough progress for Ten Hag to remain in position, or do United's problems run deeper than just their manager?

Before taking his seat at Wembley, Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed the London Marathon and compared the race, to the job he has to do at Old Trafford. Just how difficult a marathon could it prove to be for United's new owners?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's Carl Anka and Mark Critchley who were both at Wembley to discuss.
