Man Utd player ratings vs Brighton: David de Gea issues the perfect response to help book FA Cup final berth

David de Gea went to Wembley with his reputation on the floor and his Manchester United future hanging in the balance after a nightmarish performance against Sevilla.

But he came out swinging and was the Red Devils' hero as they edged out a tense and tight FA Cup semi-final with Brighton on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

It was a nerve-shredding penalty shootout and the only player to miss was Solly March, who sent his spot-kick into the stands.

De Gea may not have saved a penalty in the shootout, but did enough to put March off before Victor Lindelof buried the next kick to set up a blockbuster FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Over 120 minutes, though, De Gea made a series of outstanding saves to keep an impressive Brighton at bay.

United had their moments too, with Bruno Fernandes creating plenty of danger and Antony stretching Brighton but making a lot of bad decisions with his final pass or shot.
