Manchester United Women learn FA Cup opponents as path to Wembley becomes clear

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester United have discovered who they will face in the semi-finals of the Vitality Women's FA Cup. Marc Skinner's side booked their place in the final four for the first time in the club's history with a 3-1 victory over Lewes last weekend.

A Rhian Cleverly own goal saw United take an early lead at The Dripping Pan before Vilde Bøe Risa doubled the visitors' advantage in the second half.

Emily Kraft's dinked effort gave Lewes a route back into the game but it was United who had the final say in the contest, with Nikita Parris' 89th-minute strike rubber-stamping the win for the Reds.

And it has now been confirmed that United will host fellow WSL side Brighton in the semi-finals.
