Right then. No mucking about. No messing. Get it done. Get it sorted. Absolutely no room for error. United have one job and one job only: don’t concede in the opening minute.

After that, well, hopefully the momentum from this thundering achievement can roll over into a vaguely competent performance. Much will depend, of course, on which Spurs team turn up. They’ve probably got the edge over United at their best, particularly at their “neutral” home, but they don’t always get there. And they haven’t won an FA Cup semi-final since 1991.

United don’t have any injuries to worry about. However, they do have to struggle with the heavy knowledge that this is, basically, the season right here. Win, and there’s still a chance to get something tangible from a campaign that been sometimes promising, often frustrating. and mostly just weird. Lose, and it’ll be a flat, rancorous end.

And given Jose Mourinho’s evident unhappiness with his squad, there’s likely a couple of futures on the line as well. No pressure, lads. Just go out and enjoy the occasion.
