Manchester United know all too well about the threats that reported transfer targets Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo pose ahead of facing Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.
After United won seven straight matches in three years between 2019 and 2022 against the Seagulls, that all changed across three months on either side of summer last year. One difference? Caicedo.
The Ecuador international had not previously played against United before Ralf Rangnick and company travelled to the South Coast for their penultimate away game of last season. If those in the away end were not already aware of the midfielder, they were by the time the full-time whistle blew and certainly are well-acquainted now.
