United prevailed in the subsequent shootout when Rasmus Højlund scored with the decisive kick.
Ten Hag was asked whether it was embarrassing to win the game in the manner they did against a Championship side who had lost three of their previous four games."At the end of the day it's about achievement.

The Dutchman, however, dismissed the suggestion that even though United won, his position has been weakened by the performance against Coventry.
