Good morning Man Utd fans
Roy Keane hit out at “lucky” Manchester United after the Red Devils came from behind to beat Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
After booking a Wembley semi-final clash against Brighton, Keane said on ITV: “The priority was getting into the next round but I still think the manager will be hugely disappointed with what he saw.
“Of course Fulham self-destructed but United were so poor, it was unbelievable.”
When asked if United have been lucky in the FA Cup this season, he added: “It’s better to be lucky than good, sometimes.
“They’ve found their way in the previous games and today it was more self destruction from Fulham, and the home draws have really helped them.
“You need luck in cup competitions and United have certainly had their fair share this season.”
Alejandro Garnacho cheered on Manchester United from his home as fans spotted what was hanging proudly on his wall.
Sharing an Instagram story of him watching the match on his living room TV, he said: “Let’s go guys!”
But fans were drawn to what was hanging up either side of the big screen.
Garnacho has two of his Man Utd shirts on display for guests to see when they enter the spacious room.
Kai Rooney showed he was a chip off the old block by netting against Man Utd’s crosstown rivals Man City.
The eldest son of Red Devils legend Wayne Rooney was playing for in the U13 National Cup North final, when he showed why he was his father’s son.
A 2-0 win with goals from 13-year-old Rooney and JJ Gabriel were enough to see off the Cityzens and set up a national final clash against Arsenal.
After the game, Kai posted pictures of his medal and the trophy on Instagram, alongside images with his team-mates celebrating the famous win.
According to reports, Erik ten Hag is planning a major overhaul of his squad.
And two players that could be sold in the summer are Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
The Football Insider claims that the Dutchman is willing to let his two back-up centre backs go.
Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane have cemented their places as the first choice.
Man Utd have been handed a boost in the pursuit of Ruben Neves – with the Wolves star expected to leave the club in the summer.
The Portugal international was a target for the Red Devils at the end of last campaign, but a move to Old Trafford never materialised.
The 26-year-old will move into the final year of his contract in July, and the club are yet to agree a new deal with Neves.
Manchester United remain in the battle for Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
United are prepared to seal a Premier League and British transfer record deal this summer for Bellingham.
According to The Telegraph, the Red Devils could soon emerge as frontrunners after throwing their hat in the ring amid interest from Manchester City and Liverpool.
Manager Erik ten Hag has “genuine interest” in bringing the midfielder to Old Trafford.

Utd flop nets twice
Arsenal loanee Folarin Balogun scored AGAIN for Stade de Reims… but it wasn't enough to save Will Still's unbeaten run as boss.
An ex-Manchester United and Gunners star scored twice for Marseille, including a stunning free-kick, to seal a 2-1 victory on Sunday.
And with his double Alexis Sanchez ended Reims' incredible 19-GAME unbeaten run in Ligue 1.
The record, which stretched back to September 18, was the longest unbeaten run in any of Europe's top five leagues.
Belgium born Englishman Still has been caretaker boss for 17 of those games after taking over from the sacked Oscar Garcia in October.

Bolt was right
Man Utd fan Usain Bolt was at Old Trafford for Sunday's dramatic FA Cup win over Fulham.
And the eight-time Olympic gold medallist even managed to correctly predict the scoreline for the game.
Bolt, 36, reposted a clip to Twitter after the game of his pre-match prediction from Manchester United's Instagram account.
In the video ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final encounter, he said after being asked what the score will be: "I think it's going to finish 3-1."
And sure enough the reigning 100m and 200m world record holder was spot on with his prediction.
He captioned the video of his pre-match prediction "told you" with a winking emoji.

Peep peep
United are winners.
The Red Devils ran out 3-1 victors in the end, thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and a Sabitzer strike in between those.
The game was turned on its head when Willian was sent off for handball off the line and Fernandes scored from the penalty spot.
In a crazy few seconds, Mitrovic was sent off for shoving the red, while Marco Silva was given his marching orders for complaining about the decision.
A hell of an implosion from Fulham.
- Jon Boon
And that settles it
Bruno Fernandes fires home to make it 3-1!
The goal comes in injury time – and has set the Red Devils up for another Wembley showpiece.
They will face Brighton in the semi-final.
- Jon Boon
2-1
In the blink of an eye, it's 2-1 to United.
Shaw squares it to Sabitzer who knocks it home.
Hang on. VAR check… goal is given. Man Utd are well in control.
- Jon Boon
1-1
Man Utd are back on terms.
It’s Bruno Fernandes from the spot who has drawn the Red Devils level.
16 minutes to go, playing against nine men? Surely there’s only one winner now?
- Jon Boon
It’s gone mad!
Penalty given, Willian sent off and now Mitrovic is shown red too!
It was something he said.
This is amazing.
- Jon Boon
VAR CHECK
Man Utd have a penalty being checked for handball off the line by William.
Here we go…

Fullham lead
Aleksandar Mitrovic with a poacher's goal.
Brilliant flick from Issa Dip as the corner comes in, and the Serb is there to tap home.
It's not less than what the Cottagers deserve.
- Jon Boon
Half-time
Man Utd are making hard work of this.
It's 0-0 at the break, with the Red Devils failing to break the deadlock in an even first half.
Erik ten Hag will want to see a lot more from his side in that second half.
- Jon Boon
Neves boost
Man Utd have been handed a boost in the pursuit of Ruben Neves – with the Wolves star expected to leave the club in the summer.
The Portugal international was a target for the Red Devils at the end of last campaign, but a move to Old Trafford never materialised.
The 26-year-old will move into the final year of his contract in July, and the club are yet to agree a new deal with Neves.
- Jon Boon
Injury worry
Bruno Fernandes is down,
The Portugal midfielder came off worse in a tussle with Willian, who elbowed him in the ribs.
He's able to continue but worth keeping an eye on.
- Jon Boon
And we're underway
Fulham kick us off at OId Trafford.
The winner will face off against Brighton in the semi-final.
United, without Casemiro AND Varane.
Should be interesting.

Ten Hag on Fulham
Erik ten Hag has had his say on what he expects from Fulham in their FA Cup quarter-final.
"Fulham? They're a good team, well structured, good players," he said.
"They are well ranked in the league, which says a lot. It's up to us. You have to perform."

Jude Bellingham transfer latest

Sevilla don’t want Telles
Sevilla will not trigger the option to buy option on loan Man Utd star Alex Telles, according to reports.
Telles is set to play against United when they face Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-finals.
And following a training ground bust-up with Hannibal Mejbri at the end of last season, Erik ten Hag loaned out the pair.
However, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia both vying for the left-back spot, Telles has no future at the club.
But a report from Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo indicates Sevilla will not trigger the option to buy the defender at the end of the season.

Ron for the ages
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first free-kick in THREE YEARS to inspire Al-Nassr to a crucial comeback win.
The Portuguese's knuckleball technique rose to prominence during his first spell at Manchester United.
His Old Trafford free-kick against Portsmouth was particularly memorable, but his dead ball prowess has waned in recent seasons.
Prior to yesterday, his last free-kick goal came while playing for Juventus in July 2020.
Ronaldo, sporting a top-knot at the time, dinked a free-kick into the back of the net during Juve's 4-1 win over local rivals Torino.
It would be his only free-kick goal during his time in Italy.

Carr crash
Gary Neville disagrees with Jamie Carragher and says Tottenham should keep Antonio Conte so he can help deliver a top four finish.
And that led to a blazing Twitter row between the much-loved Sky Sports pundits.
The Italian delivered a damning ten-minute rant after his team drew 3-3 at relegation threatened Southampton on Saturday.
Spurs were leading 3-1 before they were pegged back late on to suffer a huge blow in their quest for a top four finish as James Ward-Prowse equalised with a penalty in stoppage time.
Conte, who is out of contract at the end of the campaign with talks over an extension almost non-existent, has so far failed in his quest to end the club’s 15-year trophy drought.
And after his angry tirade against both his players, the owner and chairman, it seems highly-unlikely that he will be given another opportunity next season with Carragher urging the club to sack him now.
Manchester United legend Neville then took to Twitter this morning to say: “Many saying Conte should go this morning. I’d keep him right where he is and make him do his job.”

Harry situation
Erik ten Hag has thrown his support for out-of-sorts captain Harry Maguire.
He said: “I am really happy with the progress Harry is making at the moment.
“He is more dominant and dictating, taking more initiative on the training pitch and we saw in Seville against Betis where he showed leadership, especially in those aspects of initiative and dictation of the game.”
