"The way our fans were treated by [Coventry's] player was not nice and, in the heat of the moment, I've reacted to the provocations in a natural defence of my club!" he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. Webb's Carrington visit was routine dialogue session
Latest from Sky Sports News senior reporter Melissa Reddy:
Howard Webb was at Manchester United's Carrington training ground On Tuesday afternoon for one of his routine PGMOL dialogue sessions with clubs.
In the aftermath of the FA Cup semi-final victory over Coventry, Erik ten Hag referenced instances he felt decisions have gone against his team this season, saying "it's like a curse against us."
However, Sky Sports News understands Tuesday's meeting was arranged well in advance of the Wembley shoot-out win, and so is not related to officiating in that game or those comments.
