Manchester United face Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove Albion live on BBC One on Sunday to decide who faces Manchester City in the FA Cup final on 3 June.
City defeated Sheffield United 3-0 at Wembley on Saturday to book a first appearance in the final since 2019.

Brighton and United met in the 1983 FA Cup final, with the Red Devils winning the replay 4-0 after the teams had drawn 2-2 at Wembley five days earlier.
A total of 732 clubs entered this season’s FA Cup, which started with the extra preliminary round in August.
Extra time and penalties will be used to decide who goes through to the final if the tie is level after 90 minutes. The winning team receive £1m in prize money from the Football Association and the losing side receive £500,000.
Gary Lineker will present live coverage of Brighton v Manchester United on Sunday, with build-up starting on BBC One at 16:00.
Joining him at Wembley will be three-time Manchester United FA Cup winner Peter Schmeichel, former Brighton forward Glenn Murray and ex-England captain Alan Shearer.
