Manchester United can equal Arsenal record vs Brighton and do something Solskjaer could not

Manchester United will match Arsenal's record of reaching the FA Cup final 21 times if they beat Brighton and Hove Albion at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

In doing so, manager Erik ten Hag would also manage something permanent predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could not when their first opportunity to do so arose three years ago. United last reached the FA Cup semi-finals during the 2019/20 season, facing Chelsea at an empty Wembley in July.

Arsenal had already reached their 21st final the previous day with a 2-0 victory over Man City after goals in each half from Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. Less than 24 hours later, Solskjaer's side could not replicate that feat after falling to a 3-1 defeat.
