United win quarter-final
Manchester United’s resilience led to the come from behind win, following on from the fifth round victory over West Ham.
Bruno Fernandes scored twice and Marcel Sabitzer netted another, his first ever goal for the club.
United had to do it all without Casemiro, who was beginning his four-game domestic suspension after a harsh red card last week.
Casemiro showed his approval with a ‘strong arm emoji’ reacting to Manchester United’s win.
It was important for United to get this victory without Casemiro, ahead of the three remaining Premier League games after the international break.
