Jurgen Klopp addresses retirement reversal rumours

Manchester United produced a stunning comeback to beat Liverpool 4-3 in an epic FA Cup quarter-final as Amad Diallo scored an 120th winner to deny Jurgen Klopp’s side their quadruple bid.

Diallo scored a breakaway goal at the death - and was then sent off for taking his shirt off in celebration - to send United through to Wembley in a dramatic finish at Old Trafford.

Liverpool had been minutes from the semi-finals, in what is Klopp’s final season at Anfield, but Marcus Rashford scored a 112th minute equaliser in extra time, before Diallo’s remarkable winner.

United will play Coventry City in the semi-finals, while the FA Cup draw handed holders Manchester City a Wembley date with Chelsea.

HALF-TIME: Man United 1-2 Liverpool

An awful end to what was a promising half for the home side. They’ve played well at times, but were guilty of being wasteful in certain areas and weak in others. Fernandes was far too weak as he went down under the challenge from Gomez for the second goal.

For Liverpool, an amazing end to a half that briefly threatened to be disappointing. They never looked worried even when behind, and have reaped the rewards of staying calm and sticking to their brand of football so far.

HALF-TIME: Man United 1-2 Liverpool

HALF-TIME! The whistle blows on a frantic first half, and Liverpool enter the break ahead.

A comical collapse from United, who have been guilty of the same thing several times this season.

Liverpool recovered well and were putting a lot of pressure on United before their goals.

GOAL! Man United 1-2 Liverpool

46 mins: And Liverpool are ahead!

Fernandes loses the ball to Gomez on the right-hand side. The ball comes across to Diaz, who then lays it to Nunez.

The Uruguayan cuts inside and hits a shot which Onana saves, but the rebound bounces to Salah who has plenty of space to rifle it into the net past Varane on the line.

Man United 1-0 Liverpool

45 mins: There’ll be four minutes of added time. A horrible time to concede for United, but on balance it’s probably deserved. Fernandes is wasteful as he delivers a free-kick.

GOAL! Man United 1-1 Liverpool

44 mins: GOAL! Liverpool are level.

Quansah drives at the United defence and into the box. He lays it off to Alex Mac Allister, who rifles it into the back of the net! It looks like it took a small deflection off Kobbie Mainoo.

Man United 1-0 Liverpool

42 mins: Liverpool are starting to dominate possession even more now, though United aren’t sitting back like they did against City.

The home side are having to do some defending now though, with Dalot the latest to intervene as he blocks a cross from Robertson.

Man United 1-0 Liverpool

40 mins: Robertson gets free down the left and plays the early cross to Nunez, but he can’t make anything of it.

United counter and Garnacho plays the ball across to Rashford, but his ball in is wasteful.

Man United 1-0 Liverpool

39 mins: Liverpool are starting to turn the screw here. Salah works another opportunity and puts a good ball in, but he’s offside once more.

Man United 1-0 Liverpool

38 mins: Liverpool have the ball in the net after Endo side-foots past Onana, but it’s given offside! It looks like Salah had just strayed off.

Man United 1-0 Liverpool

35 mins: CLOSE! Chances for both sides!

United attack as Mainoo dances through and sends Rashford in-behind. He plays a perfect cutback to McTominay but he hits it right at Kelleher!

Liverpool counter down the other end and Diaz skips past Lindelof. He cuts back inside and hits it, but Onana saves at his near post.
