I hope it's another 25 years before Forest get a chance to score against us. Everything about this game really pissed me off. The referee and the insufferable commentary. Felt like the latter was trying to guilt trip United for winning the game or something, apart from giving me a splitting headache. And Liverpool would have had at least two penalties awarded in the first half. feck off.

Easy enough overall.
Yet again, the awful refereeing will be glossed over/forgotten

We're starting to look like a very well-drilled team in and out of possession. Great to see.

Most comfortable two leg semi final tie I recall for United since against Schalke in 2011 who was managed by Ralf Rangnick

won without getting out of 3rd gear.

VAR is an absoloute disgrace, how any self respecting Referee, or non blind person could've seen that foul on Weghorst and said no obvious error is beyond me.

Good to see Sancho and Martial back

Job done. Referees showing again that they the 'safe' thing to do is not give anything to Man Utd. The decision tonight won't be talked about for five days. It's the easy way out.

Quite clear that the front 3 who ended the game should be starting going forward. Difference was huge.

Wout shouldve had a pen (and a goal).

Felt Shaw looked a bit dozy at points but all in all a good performance by the team

Through to the final. Fred scoring again. Martial returning AND scoring, Sancho returning, comfortable win, clean sheet, and no injuries

Happy days

Easy game. Surprised we didn't bring on Pellistri and Mainoo. Anyway. They'll get their chances in time.

Dig up stupid!
Another win and another dominant home performance - things I took for granted under saf but which we've missed for a long time.

Players look focused, look fit, look together all credit to ETH who's done a fantastic job

Just need that trophy now to cap this off

Dominated the game but some poor execution of final ball in the first half, put right in the sec half and results with easy win.

We're off to Wembley and now need to go and win it.

Truly awful performance from the ref, garnacho was held back constantly with no repurcussions, lots of fouls been waved on, never mind the penos etc. Thank God the game was never really in doubt as I'd have been full on screaming, a truly atrocious performance from the ref.

As good as a match could have gone considering we were up 3-0 in the first leg. Happy to see Sancho back and Martial among the goals.

The referee was a showcase of cowardice, was afraid to lay down the law of the game and almost made it up as it went on. To be fair I did really enjoy him letting those 50/50 shoulder challenges play on for each team, aside from that not much to be proud of. However that Casemiro yellow was so poor from the referee.

A cup final! It won't be nearly as easy as this, but this team has the coaching, the players and the mentality to get it done.

Overall very Comfortable.

Particularly loved the movement that followed the arrival of Rashford, Sancho and Martial.

Ref was an absolute joke, VAR was having a night off yet again it seems. Some serious Questions need asking about the standard of refereeing in England currently.

The ref really deserve to be fired after a game like this. Really amateur refereeing, clear penalty, never a yellow for Fred giving them little fouls and nothing to us, the added time.. Clear yellow for dragging Garnacho going into a counter... Just an inept twat from Liverpool.

Just a mystery EPL with so much money cant pay the best referees in the game and put in those half-time "pros" who can't do the basics right..

Forrest hopefully go down and stay there.
