'Doesn't deserve it' - Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi makes Manchester United shootout claim
26.04.2023 - 08:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Roberto De Zerbi does not believe Manchester United deserved to win their FA Cup semi-final showdown with the Seagulls at Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
Following a goalless 120 minutes, United prevailed on penalties, winning 7-6 to set up a first-ever all-Manchester FA Cup final against City on June 3.

The closest they came to scoring was when Danny Welbeck headed over from a corner at the start of the second half.

"Usually in penalties the winner is the one who doesn't deserve it. We made some mistakes in the final pass around the goal area but I'm really pleased with the performance from my players.
"We have to close this page and think about the next game on Wednesday in Nottingham [vs Forest]. We
