Man Utd keeper Onana: I had use my shootout tricks against Coventry's players

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana says he was aware of the rules around yellow cards in penalty shootouts after their FA Cup semifinal win against Coventry.

Onana had been booked going into the shootout and admitted some gamesmanship which saw him booked again during spotkicks.

"Before the penalties I knew that my first yellow card had been cancelled so I was aware of the rules," he grinned.

"I had to make some provocation to some players and to use my tricks to win the game, so I'm happy for that."

On Coventry pegging United back from 3-0 down to take the semi to penalties, Onana said: "We have a big responsibility.

"Me, I start with myself, like I always say we are here to take all the bullets, you know? When things are not going good I will point fingers to big players, you know? Me, Bruno [Fernandes], Harry [Maguire], we have a big responsibility, of course.

"Everything was under control and in the end we gave goals away. It's more [on] us than other people."
