da roleta: The young forward snatched an unforgettable 4-3 victory for the Red Devils to book them a trip to Wembley to face Coventry City
da premier bet: Amad Diallo sent Manchester United to Wembley by scoring the most important goal of his career and settling an epic FA Cup quarter-final tie with Liverpool in the final minute of extra-time at Old Trafford. Amad's last-gasp strike – and his subsequent sending off for taking his shirt off in celebration – provided a fitting end to a whirlwind match in which United played some of their best football of the season, but twice had to chase the game.
Scott McTominay knocked the ball into an empty net from one yard out to put United deservedly ahead, but Liverpool showed their class by turning the tie on its head in the space of four minutes at the end of the first half, with Alexis Mac Allister levelling with a deflected strike before Mohamed Salah netted on the rebound after Darwin Nunez's shot was saved.
The Red Devils stayed in the game and Antony came off the bench to drag the match into extra-time with a late goal. United were again dominant from then on, but again fell behind to a deflected strike, this time from Harvey Elliot in the 105th minute. Marcus Rashford, who had missed a gaping chance to snatch victory in last minute of normal time, lifted himself to pull United level once more.
The fixture looked to be heading to penalties for the first time ever, but Amad had the final say, firing in off the post after a lay off from the outstanding Alejandro Garnacho.
GOAL rates Manchester United's players from Old Trafford…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Andre Onana (5/10):
Made a good save from Diaz but also looked shaky. Unlucky with the deflection for Mac Allister's equaliser but sent Nunez's shot straight to Salah's feet and nearly fumbled a shot from the Uruguayan into the net.
Diogo Dalot (6/10):
Supported the midfield well but struggled to contain Diaz and could have done better against Nunez for the second goal.
Victor Lindelof (5/10):
More comfortable back in the middle of defence than at full-back, but Nunez had the run of him.
Raphael Varane (6/10):
Put himself about and made plenty of timely blocks.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (5/10):
Played his first game for two months and had the daunting task of playing out-of-position against Salah. Didn't look comfortable.

Scott McTominay (6/10):
Scored a tap-in but again was disappointing with his overall play. That said, he teed up Rashford for the second equaliser after winning the ball high up the pitch.
Kobbie Mainoo (8/10):
A class act and further proof that he can step up against the top opponents after being snubbed by Gareth Southgate.
Bruno Fernandes (5/10):
Another big game which he couldn't put his stamp on, but he battled through visible pain to last the 120 minutes.

Alejandro Garnacho (9/10):
United's greatest threat throughout the 120 minutes, never ceasing to cause havoc down either wing and playing his part in three of the four goals. Also ran his heart out and dug deep in defence when needed.
Rasmus Hojlund (4/10):
A bumpy return for the striker, who looked rusty and off the pace in his first game in four weeks. Made several bad passes, only touched the ball 13 times and fell over when he had his best shooting chance.
Marcus Rashford (5/10):
Didn't work hard enough and when he had the best chance of the game at his feet in stoppage-time, he wasted it. However, he made amends by keeping his cool in extra-time to equalise.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Antony (7/10):
The most unlikely figure to inspire United and he sure chose his moment to score his second goal in 39 games. Also worked hard and with intelligence.
Harry Maguire (5/10):
Squandered a great chance in extra-time as he lacked the confidence to shoot and blasted a late effort straight at Kelleher.
Christian Eriksen (5/10):
Tried to pick out key passes but couldn't pull them off.
Amad Diallo (7/10):
Worked hard defensively and then scored the most important goal of his career. Then showed his inexperience by removing his shirt and getting sent off.
Mason Mount (N/A):
His first appearance in several months but barely made a mark in his 15 minutes on the pitch.
Erik ten Hag (7/10):
Oversaw one of United's strongest performances of the season and his changes made a huge impact.
