- The final will be a much anticipated Manchester derby
Manchester United and Brighton battled to penalties before the Red Devils progressed to the final, but a fan was less interested in the drama.
The Seagulls were the better side throughout 120 minutes, dominated possession, and created the most chances but could not get past David De Gea.
There were concerns among the United faithful when the game was approaching a shootout as their goalkeeper De Gea is not known to stop penalties.
According to Sun UK, the memories of the 2021 UEFA Europa League final against Villarreal, where the Spaniard let in 11 spot kicks, flooded their heads.

Weghorst's penalty antics spotted
Sports Brief reported that Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst kissed the ball before handing it over to March, who missed his spot kick to hand United the advantage.
The Dutch striker converted the 5th penalty before passing it on to the English winger and did some bit of 'black magic,' which fans believed made him miss.
The Burnley striker is not new to shootout antics, as the Dutch national team put up a show against Argentina in the quarter-final of the World Cup in Qatar last year.
