Manchester United have booked their place in the FA Cup final thanks to a penalty shootout win over Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Red Devils were, truthfully, largely outplayed for the majority of normal and extra time in the game at Wembley Stadium, but were able to hold on until a penalty shootout.
After the first 12 penalties were all converted, Victor Lindelof was able to convert a game-winning spot kick following Solly March’s miss.
Here’s the best and worst players for Man Utd in the Wembley win according to 90min’s player ratings.

David de Gea: 8/10
Following a rather hopeless showing in the Europa League on Thursday evening, De Gea was quickly back to his best on Sunday against Brighton.
The goalkeeper set the tone for what was a phenomenal performance inside the opening five minutes when he tipped an Alexis Mac Allister free kick over the bar, and he continued that form throughout the game.
De Gea was later on hand to deny Julio Encisco from close range in the second half, and showed his braveness by storming off his line to deny Kaoru Mitoma what could’ve been a decisive strike on goal – hurting himself in the process.
Although he once again failed to save a penalty in the shootout, the Spaniard did more than enough in normal and extra time to ensure that that won’t be a stick to beat him with in the aftermath of the semi-final.
Anthony Martial: 2/10
A 2/10 performance in a semi final is really quite atrocious behaviour from Anthony Martial.
Starting as the centre forward – being preferred to Wout Weghorst in that role – Martial showed why the club are seemingly hellbent on signing a new number nine during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The French striker failed to hold up play adequately, have any notable efforts on goal, or even just run around a bit to put pressure on the Brighton defence while they tried to build from the back.
His tame chipped effort in the first half, taken on with next-to-no-conviction, perhaps best sums up Martial’s performance.
A meek outing from Martial, to say the least.
