On the other side of the pitch was a formidable Sanchez who had to stretch time and again just like De Gea to keep the game in a state of equilibrium. Rashford had his chance denied woth Sanchez at full stretch same as captain Bruno Fernades before being substituted for Out Werghost.
The substitution was a brave one from Erik Ten Hag and seemed to the un popular choice among many supporters until Bruno seemingly leaped off.
Jadon Sancho,Tyrell Malacia abd Fred were also introduced but nothing doing.
With the game level after 90 minutes,30 extra minutes were definitely on the cards with Manchester being lead by David De Gea as the captain in the absence of suspended Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernades.

Brighton were first to take the kick with Wolrd Cup winner Alex MacAllister stepping up first.MacAllister converted it with no problem and the rest followed his lead.
Brazillian maestro,Casemiro, steped up first for Ten Hags army and slotted it home smoothly.
After all five ,the sudden death was on and the team converted the first round with ease.
Solly March was unlucky to put his ball way over the crossbar heading Victor Lindelof the win on a silver platter. Lindelof slotted it home to send Manchester United to the second final just one year after the Trn hag took charge.
