Manchester United squad are already helping Erik ten Hag keep his promise

Manchester United booked their second Wembley visit of the season with Sunday's 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final victory over Fulham at Old Trafford.

After 60 seconds of chaos saw Fulham duo Aleksandar Mitrovic, who had earlier given the Londoners the lead, and Willian sent off, as well as boss Marco Silva, United rallied and turned the game on its head, thanks to two goals from Bruno Fernandes and a first for the club from Bayern Munich loanee Marcel Sabitzer.

United were second best for almost all of the contest and were most definitely helped by Fulham's decision to hit the self-destruct button. Nevertheless, Erik ten Hag's side, just as they did in the previous round against West Ham United, found a way to come from behind and keep their FA Cup dream alive, booking a semi-final date with Brighton at Wembley next month.
