Manchester United veteran Casemiro has admitted teammate Harry Maguire was injured for their FA Cup semi final against Coventry City.

The Three Lions center half put in a commendable display, scoring in a dramatic 3-3 draw.

United won the contest on penalties after the game ended as a tie at the end of extra time.

Casemiro, as quoted by the Metro, said: "Today I played as a defender. We have six defenders.

H [Harry Maguire] was injured. He played injured this game. Since the beginning [of the game] he was injured.

He played injured in the last match. I played as a central defender. I don't know how many injuries we have from different players.

I think it can never be an excuse for such a big team with so many players. But it ends up hurting."
