Wout Weghorst is hoping victory over Fulham will offer Manchester United another trip to Wembley but the Dutchman insists getting there means nothing without winning trophies.
United host Fulham in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday afternoon, looking to earn a second date at Wembley following February's Carabao Cup triumph. Erik ten Hag's side beat Newcastle in the final at the end of that month, with goals from Casemiro and Marcus Rashford sealing a first trophy in six years.
Far from being the only moment of glory for United, February's win over the Magpies is hoped to be the first of many final wins under Ten Hag. And Weghorst admits he and his teammates are desperate to add to their personal trophy cabinet with the FA Cup.

“Of course, we want to be there,” Weghorst told United Review. “The match against Newcastle [Carabao Cup final] at Wembley was a great experience - a lovely atmosphere in the stadium - it has something special.
“But, like I said, that’s what we want. We want to win trophies. The one we have now just showed us that we can do it again; we are all hungry for more, all of us.
"The FA Cup is definitely in our head to go to Wembley again, and not only play in the semi and the final, but to win it.”
Many United fans spotted a lovely moment after the Carabao Cup win, with Weghorst enjoying a moment by himself to take in the atmosphere. That was the 30-year-old's first major trophy of a long and otherwise excellent career at both domestic and international level.
“When we won it and the trophy was ours, I took a moment to enjoy it and I saw the crowd," the Dutchman added. "These are the moments you will remember, and that is why I did it. I have worked for my whole career to reach the top, top level in the world.
“For me I notice now, our club – Manchester United – is definitely one of the biggest clubs in the world. I’m just proud and happy to be here.”
