Alan Shearer spots Man Utd's tactical change which shows they've learnt from mistakes

Alan Shearer has highlighted the tweak David de Gea made to his game in Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final penalty shootout win over Brighton on Sunday.

The Red Devils booked their place in the final at Wembley against Manchester City on June 3 after overcoming a stern test in Brighton. Chances were few and far between across the 120 minutes as both sides tried to battle it out for the elusive first goal, with Julio Enciso going the closest throughout the game.

However, penalties were needed to separate two evenly-matched teams. The shootout was performed to perfection, up until Solly March blazer over the crossbar as Brighton's seventh taker. That meant Victor Lindelof needed to score to secure victory for United - and he did just that, rolling the ball beyond Robert Sanchez.
