Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen fires FA Cup warning at Man Utd

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has warned Manchester United ahead of their FA Cup semifinal.

Vertonghen says playing at Wembley is a clear advantage for Spurs.

"It definitely helps us because we have played well there," Vertonghen said, knowing that Spurs will be in familiar semi-final and possible final surroundings in trying to win their first silverware since the 2008 League Cup.

"We've beaten some big teams there and had some very good games, apart from the start of the season when it was a bit difficult for us.

"Juventus wasn't great, but Wembley suits us and we've had a good season there. We really feel at home there."
