18:57 , Jamie Braidwood
Erik ten Hag was skipping down the touchline in ungainly, awkward joy. A match to save Manchester United’s season, in his own description, may end up saving his job. It certainly ensured that Liverpool will not win the quadruple, that Jurgen Klopp’s reign will not end at Wembley in May’s FA Cup final and, as a result, that he will not face Pep Guardiola in England again.
But while United often delight in Liverpool’s misfortunes, the euphoria reflected an extraordinary end to an epic encounter. This was about United, about the manner of their rescue act and the improbability of it all. Amad Diallo’s lone United goal came three years ago. He has been a bit-part figure at best, but he emerged from margins to come off the bench, deliver an extra-time winner and be sent off for his celebration. While Ten Hag danced, Amad removed his shirt, at a cost of a second caution, but the telling part was the lightning counter-attack, Alejandro Garnacho releasing the Ivorian to slide his shot past Caoimhin Kelleher.

FA to work with police over ‘tragedy chanting’
21:33 , Jamie Braidwood
The Football Association has vowed to work with Greater Manchester Police as it condemned the “tragedy chanting” heard during Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final win over rivals Liverpool on Sunday.
Chants of ‘Murderers’ and ‘Always the victims’ could be heard coming from a section of home supporters in the Stretford End at Old Trafford, with the singing audible on the live television broadcast on ITV 1.
The taunts were in reference to the Hillsborough disaster, where 97 Liverpool supporters lost their lives at or as a result of the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989.

Holders Manchester City will face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals with rivals Manchester United taking on outsiders Coventry City.
The draw for the last four raises the prospect of a repeat of last season’s all-Manchester final.
Treble-chasing City eased through with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Newcastle on Saturday while Chelsea saw off Leicester 4-2.
United’s reward for a thrilling 4-3 extra-time victory over Liverpool on Sunday is a clash with Championship outfit Coventry, who stunned Wolves 3-2.
Coventry are managed by former United striker Mark Robins, scorer of a crucial winner as the Red Devils beat Nottingham Forest en route to winning the competition in 1990 – a goal widely believed to have saved Sir Alex Ferguson’s job as manager.

Manchester United and Liverpool played out one of the all-time great FA Cup ties at Old Trafford as Amad Diallo’s 120th-minute winner settled a seven-goal thriller to send Erik ten Hag’s side through to the semi-finals.
Diallo’s breakaway strike deep into extra time denied Jurgen Klopp one last Wembley trip as Liverpool’s quadruple bid came crashing down at then hands of their fierce rivals, who managed to save their season in dramatic fashion.
Diallo was sent off after celebrating his winner, which came after Marcus Rashford had rescued United with a 112th-minute equaliser. Harvey Elliott had given Liverpool the lead in extra time but Klopp’s side were punished after wasting several chances in the second half.
Scott McTominay gave United a deserved lead in the 10th minute before Liverpool turned the game around through goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah before half-time. The Reds dominated the second half but were wasteful and Antony came off the bench to send the quarter-final tie to extra time.

Erik ten Hag wants FA Cup win over Liverpool to be Manchester United turning point
20:50 , Jamie Braidwood
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag hopes his side’s dramatic FA Cup quarter-final win over arch-rivals Liverpool will prove to be the turning point of their season.
The Dutchman declared himself happy with his weekend after United snatched a 4-3 victory in time added on in extra time courtesy of Amad Diallo’s breakaway goal, having seen Tottenham and Aston Villa both drop points in the race for the top four in the Premier League.
Speculation about Ten Hag’s long-term position has increased since Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought a 27.7 per cent share of the club but the manager believes this victory could be pivotal.

It is the United manager’s turn to speak to the media now. He says that “the first 30 minutes was the best of our whole season”.
“We were acting as a team but then we got gaps between the lines and you can’t allow this against one of the best teams in Europe. They outplayed us.
“Then we made changes, we took risks and the players were wonderful. The attitude was great, a strong belief to win this game.
“We have a team that is for the future. Coming up are players who are developing very well like Diallo, Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo.”
Klopp speaks to BBC
19:05 , Chris Wilson
Speaking the BBC, Klopp calls the game “super intense”, and adds that Liverpool “were outstanding but we had to finish the game off and we didn’t”.
“I cannot ask for more. The boys gave everything.
“Our decision making was not great. You have to accept the result. They deserve to go to the next round. It was a period in the second half when we should have finished it but we didn’t and we know they could come back.
“I think my boys showed incredible character again. Super effort again. Everybody showed it.
“You cannot compare our season to United’s with the amount of games. It’s fine, we deal with it.
“I really feel for our people. In a few weeks we come again and we give it another try.
“I’m still proud of what I saw today.”

Diallo was next to speak to the media and he’s clearly delighted, though he says he forgot about his first yellow when he decided to take his shirt off while celebrating. He’ll miss the next league game.
He says that today is a “dream come true”.
“That goal will give me a lot of confidence and I want to continue like this. I’m very happy. The most important thing is to win this game.
“I wanted to give it back to Garnacho but I see the defender and I have to go on my own. It is unbelievable, it is a dream for me to score the last goal for Manchester United.
“It is one of the best games of the season so we want to continue like this.”

So attention turns to the title run-in for Liverpool, who overall were extremely unlucky today. They might look back on today with a fair amount of regret considering their dominance at times.

There will be no final Pep v Klopp showdown in English football. Livepool’s quadruple dream is over, though they can still deliver a treble of sorts and a hugely successful final season for their manager.
For United, a largely underwhelming season has at least one memorable result. They move into the semi-final draw as they look to keep their only hope of silverware alive.

Fans around the stadium are in disbelief. Liverpool fans look especially shellshocked.
Rashford and Fernandes are speaking to the media and they seem as perplexed as we all are, with Fernandes saying that United know they “have to improve”.
“We said that our goal for the rest of the season is getting into the top four and winning the FA Cup.
“We want to get into the final, we know it’s going to be tough, but we’ll do everything to get there.”

18:11 , Chris Wilson
FULL-TIME! The whistle goes for full-time after the four minutes, and United have made it into the semi-finals!
What a game. There wasn’t a second to catch your breath in that last bit of extra-time. Fernandes finishes at centre-back, Diallo ends the game off the pitch, but United end the day still in the FA Cup.
Liverpool will be absolutely gutted there. They could and should have wrapped it up by the 70th minute, but instead their quadruple dream is over.
Man United 4-3 Liverpool
18:09 , Chris Wilson
122 mins: Four minutes of added time as Diallo is actually sent off for taking off his shirt!

120 mins: GOAL!!!!! Diallo scores at the death! Will that be the winner?
Diallo wins the ball on the edge of the box after a mix-up between the Liverpool players. United break and Garnacho carries it into the Liverpool half.

Man United 3-3 Liverpool
18:01 , Chris Wilson

Man United 3-3 Liverpool
17:59 , Chris Wilson
114 mins: This game is on a knife-edge now but the Stratford End is in fine voice. Liverpool have more shape, which could prove crucial.
Surely they need to move Fernandes from centre-back, even if there are no more subs to use?
GOAL! Man United 3-3 Liverpool
17:57 , Chris Wilson
111 mins: GOAL! Rashford finally has his goal!
Liverpool lose it cheaply as Diallo wins possession. He squares it to McTominay, who then plays in Rashford. He rifles it past Kelleher and into the bottom corner.
17:56 , Chris Wilson
110 mins: Liverpool break but Nunez takes too long and Amad dispossesses him. The ball goes long again but Garnacho can’t control it. United are having to gamble with the long balls, but van Dijk and Quansah look quite comfortable.

17:55 , Chris Wilson
109 mins: Fernandes has permanently dropped to the back then, while Kelleher is booked for time-wasting.
Rashford wins a free-kick on halfway after being dragged down by Quansah. The ball drops to Maguire and he manages to get a shot off in the box, but it’s straight at Kelleher.
Man United 2-3 Liverpool
17:52 , Chris Wilson
107 mins: Maguire does well to dispossess Gakpo and then beat him to a clearing header. United’s formation is all over the place now, and Maguire will have an important role keeping Liverpool at bay. Fernandes is playing alongside him at the back.
Man United 2-3 Liverpool
17:51 , Chris Wilson
105 mins: Garnacho hits a deep cross but Kelleher collects. Fernandes is hobbling around at the moment, and he doesn’t look like he’ll be able to continue.

Man United 2-3 Liverpool

GOAL! Man United 2-3 Liverpool
17:46 , Chris Wilson
104 mins: GOAL! Liverpool are back in front!
A goal from nothing almost. Tsimikas collects the ball from a throw-in and passes across to Elliott. The Englishman has acres of space on the right of the box and he elects to shoot – the ball comes off the bottom of Eriksen’s foot and slides into the far corner.
Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:44 , Chris Wilson
103 mins: Garnacho concedes a foul in the Liverpool box as he looks to connect with a shot.
Liverpool are looking to slow the game down a bit here, picking and choosing when to attack.
Rashford is sent though again with another clipped ball over the top, but he drags his shot wide of the far post this time. The flag goes up anyway.
17:42 , Chris Wilson
100 mins: A chance for United as the ball is clipped across to Rashford, who manages to get a foot to it and poke it towards Garnacho. The Argentinian backheels it to Lindelof, whose shit hits the side-netting.
Meanwhile, Gomez comes off for Tsimikas.

Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:31 , Chris Wilson
We should be in for an interesting period of extra-time here. United’s changes mean that their only recognised defenders on the pitch are Dalot, Maguire and Lindelof – you’d think they’ll need some back-up if they want to make it through unscathed.
For Liverpool, Salah is now off, but the attacking threat remains.
United get us underway once more.
FULL-TIME: Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:28 , Chris Wilson
FULL-TIME! The whistle goes for full-time right after Rashford’s miss and we’ll have extra-time at Old Trafford.

Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:27 , Chris Wilson
94 mins: CLOSE!! Oh my word! How has he not hit the target there?
Rashford HAS to score here. Eriksen clips a lovely ball over the Liverpool defence and Rashford is one his own, one-v-one with the ‘keeper. He takes it down expertly, has the time to sidefoot a finish, but hits it wide!
That was the place in the semi-final right there!
Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:25 , Chris Wilson
93 mins: United have dominated the last four minutes but Liverpool have defended resolutely. It’s been a cracking end to the half.
Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:25 , Chris Wilson
92 mins: Onana clips a great ball over to Fernandes on the right wing. His cross is deep and Garnacho meets it with a great ball across, but no one is there and it’s cleared.
Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:23 , Chris Wilson
90 mins: There’ll be four minutes of added time. How wrong I was about the Antony change, but can you blame me? That’s his second goal of the season.
United win a corner two minutes into stoppage time, but Kelleher clears Eriksen’s delivery.
Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:21 , Chris Wilson

GOAL! Man United 2-2 Liverpool
17:20 , Chris Wilson
87 mins: GOAL! United equalise out of absolutely nowhere!
In truth, this game looked over, and has done for a while. However, United continue to attack, with Antony releasing Garnacho on the wing. The Argentinian cuts in and tries to shoot but it’s blocked and rolls to Antony. He hits it on the turn and it just creeps past Kelleher!
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
17:18 , Chris Wilson
86 mins: Diaz releases Elliott win the right and he squares it, but it’s intercepted.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
17:16 , Chris Wilson
84 mins: United have a little spell of possession but they’re seriously lacking any attacking threat. Erik ten Hag tries to remedy that by bringing off Varane for Amad.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
17:14 , Chris Wilson
82 mins: Gakpo is the latest to have a shot turned behind for a corner. In the meantime, Mainoo has been taken off for Eriksen for the home side.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
17:13 , Chris Wilson
80 mins: If Liverpool do only win 2-1, it’s because of their own lack of precision rather than any defensive effort from United. The home side have been woeful this half.
Bradley is the latest player with acres of space, but his cross is put out for a throw.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
17:11 , Chris Wilson
79 mins: Klopp is in disbelief that Liverpool haven’t scored. They break with a five-on-two, and Elliott takes the ball on the right. He tries to play a through ball but it’s intercepted by Lindelof.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
17:10 , Chris Wilson
77 mins: Garnacho just about gets the better of Bradley and wins a corner. Fernandes aims for Maguire with the cross, but it’s cleared.

76 mins: Cody Gakpo and Conor Bradley come on for Andy Robertson and Mo Salah.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
17:07 , Chris Wilson
75 mins: Elliott has actually moved to the right to take on Lindelof. He receives the ball in the box and cuts inside, but his shot is blocked and goes out for a corner, which comes to nothing.
17:05 , Chris Wilson
72 mins: Those changes mean that Lindelof will be playing out of position at left-back while forced to deal with Salah, and Rashford will play at nine with Hojlund off. Not two changes that’ll have Liverpool very worried, you’d think.
Unite do fashion a chance as McTominay clips a ball over to Garnacho. He lays it off to Fernandes but there are too many bodies in the box and Liverpool clear.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
17:03 , Chris Wilson
70 mins: United launch their first attack of the last 10 minutes but Fernandes’ long ball is too long for Garnacho.
Szoboszlai is replaced by Harvey Elliott for the visitors, while United bring on Antony and Maguire for Hojlund and Wan-Bissaka.
17:01 , Chris Wilson
69 mins: United look out of shape here as Liverpool look to take advantage, but Wan-Bissaka does well to intercept.
Salah plays it wide to Diaz, who exchanges passes with Robertson. Salah pops up in the middle and tries to send Nunez through, but they weren’t on the same wavelength there.
16:59 , Chris Wilson
68 mins: Garnacho is complaining as he presses the full-back on his own. United surely need a change soon, but who on that bench can really change a game?
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:58 , Chris Wilson
66 mins: This game is in danger of getting away from United. They aren’t even pressing as a unit, with Fernandes chasing on his own in parts.
An awful lot of players just walking around for United when they aren’t in possession.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:57 , Chris Wilson
65 mins: Diaz turns inside Dalot and drives towards the box. He slips it to Salah, but the Egyptian’s shot is straight at Onana.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:56 , Chris Wilson
64 mins: Liverpool are keeping possession well now. They don’t look flustered at all really, with United chasing possession and the game.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:55 , Chris Wilson
61 mins: The game has become a bit disjointed, but Liverpool continue to break through United’s leaky defence.
Nunez is the latest to get a shot on target. He squares Varane up and beats him too easily, but his shot is too close to Onana. From the corner, Nunez heads it down to Diaz but his half-volley is blocked.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:52 , Chris Wilson
60 mins: Joe Gomez is booked as he flies into the challenge and catches Wan-Bissaka. Probably not a booking if Fernandes’ challenge earlier wasn’t.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:51 , Chris Wilson
59 mins: Mac Allister lines up the free-kick from just outside the ‘D’, but it goes narrowly over and lands on top of the net.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:49 , Chris Wilson
57 mins: Liverpool have a free-kick on the edge of the area after a dangerous challenge from Fernandes. He’s on a booking, so he’s lucky there.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:47 , Chris Wilson
55 mins: Garnacho ruins a counter as he tries to win a foul, but again he’s far too weak there.
Szoboszlai has so much time and he unleashes a low drive, but Onana gets down to his right and saves.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:46 , Chris Wilson
54 mins: Huge shouts for a penalty as Garnacho’s cross bounces off Robertson’s thigh and onto his hand, but that’s never being given. Liverpool counter but Diaz’s through ball just runs long.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:45 , Chris Wilson
53 mins: United’s best chance of the half so far, as Rashford sends Fernandes through into the box. His cross is good, right across goal, but no one gets to the end of it.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:43 , Chris Wilson
51 mins: Another Liverpool counter is just cut out at the last minute, this time by Varane. United don’t seem to have dealt with that openness problem, and continue to be cut open by Liverpool.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:42 , Chris Wilson
50 mins: Liverpool were on the counter there but Salah’s early cross was straight to Onana. United counter themselves, but Rashford’s cross is dealt with by Quansah.

16:40 , Chris Wilson
48 mins: Szoboszlai hits a shot from outside the box but it’s charged down by the United defence.
United go down the other end but Garnacho’s disguised through ball is cut out by van Dijk.
Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:39 , Chris Wilson
47 mins: United were far too open in the second part of the first half. Can they remedy that as they look to keep their hunt for silverware alive?
Nunez gets past Varane and hits a cross-cum-shot that Onana does well to save at his near post.
KICK-OFF! Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:38 , Chris Wilson
We’re underway again! United look to attack straight away and Fernandes takes a corner, but nothing comes of it.
HALF-TIME: Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:36 , Chris Wilson
A game turned on its head in the space of three or four minutes, if that.
United will be hoping for something miraculous to turn this game around, while the away side will be safe in the knowledge that if they continue to play as they did in that half, they’ll likely be in the pot for the semi-finals.
The teams are coming out for the second half now.
16:33 , Chris Wilson
HALF-TIME: Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:26 , Chris Wilson
An awful end to what was a promising half for the home side. They’ve played well at times, but were guilty of being wasteful in certain areas and weak in others. Fernandes was far too weak as he went down under the challenge from Gomez for the second goal.
For Liverpool, an amazing end to a half that briefly threatened to be disappointing. They never looked worried even when behind, and have reaped the rewards of staying calm and sticking to their brand of football so far.
HALF-TIME: Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:22 , Chris Wilson
HALF-TIME! The whistle blows on a frantic first half, and Liverpool enter the break ahead.
A comical collapse from United, who have been guilty of the same thing several times this season.
Liverpool recovered well and were putting a lot of pressure on United before their goals.
GOAL! Man United 1-2 Liverpool
16:20 , Chris Wilson
46 mins: And Liverpool are ahead!
Fernandes loses the ball to Gomez on the right-hand side. The ball comes across to Diaz, who then lays it to Nunez.
The Uruguayan cuts inside and hits a shot which Onana saves, but the rebound bounces to Salah who has plenty of space to rifle it into the net past Varane on the line.
Man United 1-0 Liverpool
16:17 , Chris Wilson
45 mins: There’ll be four minutes of added time. A horrible time to concede for United, but on balance it’s probably deserved. Fernandes is wasteful as he delivers a free-kick.
GOAL! Man United 1-1 Liverpool
16:15 , Chris Wilson
44 mins: GOAL! Liverpool are level.
Quansah drives at the United defence and into the box. He lays it off to Alex Mac Allister, who rifles it into the back of the net! It looks like it took a small deflection off Kobbie Mainoo.
Man United 1-0 Liverpool
16:14 , Chris Wilson
42 mins: Liverpool are starting to dominate possession even more now, though United aren’t sitting back like they did against City.
The home side are having to do some defending now though, with Dalot the latest to intervene as he blocks a cross from Robertson.
Man United 1-0 Liverpool
16:12 , Chris Wilson
40 mins: Robertson gets free down the left and plays the early cross to Nunez, but he can’t make anything of it.
United counter and Garnacho plays the ball across to Rashford, but his ball in is wasteful.
