Man Utd v Brighton TV channel: Kick-off time, how to watch FA Cup semi-final, who is referee

Manchester United and Brighton will square up in what promises to be a closely fought FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium this weekend.

United go into the match on the back of crushing Europa League exit at the hands of Sevilla, while their opponents are enjoying a fine run of form in the Premier League as they look to improve on last season’s best-ever ninth-placed finish.

Erik Ten Haag’s Red Devils are currently third in the table and chasing down a Champions League spot while Brighton under Roberto De Zerbi are seventh and bidding to qualify for Europe for the first time since the club’s inception in 1901.

The match is a repeat of the 1983 FA Cup final which Man Utd won after a replay in what remains Brighton’s one and only appearance in the final. Man Utd are bidding to reach their first FA Cup final since 2018 while they last won the competition under Louis van Gaal in 2016.
