Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer says he knows the importance of the FA Cup.

United meet Brighton in the semifinal at Wembley on Sunday.

Sabitzer said, "The cup competition is always nice, [that was the case] in Germany as well.

“I know about the meaning: it's very important for the club and for the fans, so yeah we're looking forward to the game and we want to go through.

“It's always special, the knockout games. It's nice and we all love these kind of games, so as I said we want to go through.

“We'll give our all and we want to reach the final.

“It would be huge [to win at Wembley again] and that is our aim.

“We want to reach the final and win the final, but we know Brighton is a good opponent, with good quality. It will be a hard game, but we're ready for it."

Of his role, which has seen moved further forward by manager Erik ten Hag, Sabitzer added: “Yeah, my position changed a bit in the last three or four games, so I'm a bit higher up. I like it.

“It works out so it's very nice scoring goals.

“It's the best thing you can do to help the team, so I want to keep going."
