Manchester United rallied late to secure a 4-3 win against Liverpool after extra-time of their FA Cup quarter-final clash on Sunday, March 17. They will now face Coventry City in the semi-finals at Wembley Stadium.

Jonny Evans and Casemiro made way for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Rasmus Hojlund for this game.
