It's set to be another expensive and exciting summer transfer window for Manchester United.
Pundits disagree on predictions for Brighton vs Manchester United FA Cup semi-final
23.04.2023 - 12:43 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United can book their place in a second cup final of the season when they face Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final this afternoon.
Erik ten Hag's side will be desperate to bounce back from Thursday's dismal Europa League loss to Sevilla by booking a derby-day final, following Manchester City's 3-0 win over Sheffield United in the other semi-final yesterday. The Reds boss is expected to make a number of changes from midweek, with Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford likely starters.
But in Brighton they face a side enjoying the finest season in their history and confident they can add a cup final to their late-season push for European football. United were humbled at home to the Seagulls on the opening day of the season, with Roberto De Zerbi's arrival only improving them further.

"Bruno Fernandes helped them dominate at City Ground, and Marcus Rashford's return from injury this week is a big boost too.
"But it's still hard to judge exactly how good United were in that game because of how bad Forest were, and I think Brighton are a completely different proposition.
"I watched the Seagulls against Chelsea last weekend and - yes, we know Chelsea are having a bad time of it right
