Manchester United have just boosted Liverpool FC's hopes of securing European qualification

Manchester United bounced back from the disappointment of last week's Europa League exit on Sunday by booking their place in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

Following a goalless 120 minutes, United advanced to their first FA Cup final since 2018 with a 7-6 penalty shootout triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Victor Lindelof dispatched the decisive penalty to set up an all-Manchester contest against City on June 3. It means, of course, that United can still end their first season of the Erik ten Hag era by winning two trophies, following their Carabao Cup triumph over Newcastle United back in February.

For now, however, United need to focus on their main objective: finishing inside the top four and securing Champions League qualification.
