Manchester United vs Liverpool LIVE - score and goal updates as Salah and Mac Allister score after McTominay

Manchester United will be looking to keep their hopes of clinching a trophy this season alive when they face Liverpool in the quarter-final of the FA Cup at Old Trafford this afternoon.

United, who reached the last eight with a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the last round, will be looking to build on last weekend's 2-0 win over Everton. Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford both scored from the spot to secure a return to winning ways.

Victory over the Toffees moved United back to within eight points of the top four, meaning they are still in with a chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League. In a further boost to their chances, fellow top four hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur lost 3-0 at Fulham yesterday evening.

Though achieving a top four finish remains a key objective for United this season, full focus now switches to the FA Cup and keeping their hopes of winning some silverware alive. United reached the final of the competition last term but lost 2-1 to Manchester City.
