Play all audios:


Manchester United duo Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba were visibly elated after Harry Maguire’s late goal against Norwich on Saturday. The pair don’t always show their emotions on the field


of play. But they were jubilant after Maguire propelled them to Wembley with a dramatic strike in extra time. Manchester United found Norwich City a tough nut to crack on Saturday, with the


Canaries making Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side work hard to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup. The Red Devils took the lead through Odion Ighalo in the 51st minute. It was the Nigeria


international’s fifth goal for the club since his shock arrival on the final day of the January transfer window. Todd Cantwell then equalised for Norwich, beating Sergio Romero with a


swerving strike that sailed into the bottom corner. The home side had Timm Klose dismissed near the end of the 90 minutes. He received his marching orders after grappling with Ighalo on the


edge of the box. And while Norwich dug in they were undone at the death with Maguire scoring. It was a big moment for the Red Devils, who are now through to their second semi-final of the


season after reaching the last four of the EFL Cup earlier in the season. LATEST LIVE SPORT TV DEALS GET SKY SPORTS FOR JUST £25 PER MONTH FOR 3 MONTHS GET BT SPORT FOR HALF PRICE And the


club will now be looking to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2016, back when Jose Mourinho was manager. Meanwhile, speaking after the game, Solskjaer praised Maguire. "Two


different goals, one you don’t expect at Tranmere, you’d expect the header to go in today but it was a fantastic save," Solskjaer said. "Harry’s been magnificent since he’s been to


the club, his leadership skills are there to be seen, today he won every header and made every challenge." The United boss also hailed fellow goalscorer Ighalo. THINK YOU KNOW
