Man Utd sent grim eight-word warning on trophy hopes following dramatic FA Cup win over Liverpool

Liverpool's run in the FA Cup came to an end after Manchester United's late comeback at Old Trafford.

Liverpool's hopes of a fairytale quadruple to honour Jurgen Klopp's final season at Anfield ended on Sunday after they were knocked out of the FA Cup by arch rivals Manchester United.

A nail-biting clash at Old Trafford was forced into extra time after substitute Antony cancelled out goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah, following Scott McTominay's 10th minute opener.

It looked as though Harvey Elliott had won it for Liverpool when he scored after 105 minutes on the clock, but Erik ten Hag's men were not willing to accept defeat on home soil. After a Marcus Rashford equaliser, Amad Diallo shattered Liverpool hearts in injury time to deny a penalty shootout and keep United's silverware chances alive.

Following the match, Rio Ferdinand took to Twitter to celebrate the Red Devils' gutsy 4-3 victory. The former United defender shared an image of Rashford alongside a snap from the archives of himself celebrating with his old teammates, featuring a disappointed-looking Jamie Carragher.

But the Anfield icon was quick to notice the post and he sent a biting response of his own in attempt to shut down Ferdinand's celebrations.

"Relax, Man City will beat you comfortably in the final and ETH [Erik ten Hag] will still be in charge next season. It’s not the win you think it is!"

United have been drawn against the last-remaining Championship side Coventry City in the semi-final, after they stunned Wolves in a thrilling 3-2 victory at Molineux, with all five goals coming in the second half.

Ten Hag and co will be hoping to move past the Sky Blues at Wembley — who are currently pushing for a shot in the Championship play-offs this season — and reach the final to avenge last season's near miss. If they can beat Coventry, United will face either Chelsea or Manchester City for the final showdown.
