MANCHESTER UNITED have blown their chance of securing a treble this season – but the double is still on if they can get past Brighton in a tasty FA Cup semi-final tie.
Youssef En-Nesyri’s Europa League double and a strike from Loic Bade saw the Red Devils go crashing out at the quarter-final stage.
And Harry Maguire was under the spotlight once again as his early mistake was the catalyst to a toothless United performance.
However, Erik ten Hag will be eager for his men to quickly put the defeat behind them and there’s no better way to do that then to book a trip to Wembley for Saturday, June 2.
But it won’t be easy as the Europe-chasing Brighton go into this match off the back of a 2-1 triumph over out-of-form Chelsea.
