Why Harry Maguire isn't playing for Man Utd vs Brighton as Erik ten Hag forced into change

Harry Maguire didn't play for Manchester United against Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday afternoon due to suspension.

United's captain, who made a mistake in the team's 3-0 loss to Sevilla on Thursday night, was handed a suspension for the Wembley game after receiving two yellow cards earlier in the tournament. He was booked during the quarter-final win against Fulham.

Maguire's absence, as well as injuries to Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, forced United boss Erik ten Hag to play Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw at centre-back against Brighton. Aaron Wan-Bissaka played at right-back, while Diogo Dalot slotted in at left-back.
