Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Roberto De Zerbi has warned that his side will not be travelling to Wembley for next month's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United just to be 'tourists'.

The Seagulls, who defeated United 2-1 at Old Trafford on the opening day of the Premier League season back in August, booked their place in the last four of the competition for the first time since 2019 with a comprehensive 5-0 win over Grimsby Town at the Amex Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Facing a League Two side that had pulled off several scalps en route to the quarter-finals, it would have been easy for the Seagulls to become the latest victim of the Mariners' fairytale run.

However, Deniz Undav's sixth-minute opener soon settled any nerves the home side may have had.
