Man Utd keeper De Gea: I tried to put pressure on Brighton penalty takers

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea admitted to a clever penalty tactic in their FA Cup semi final.

The Red Devils had to rely on penalties to progress against Brighton on Sunday at Wembley.

After the game ended 0-0 after extra time, United won the shoot out 7-6 and will now play Manchester City in the final.

“It was a very tight game against a very good team, who play really good football," De Gea explained after the game.

“We are in another final – but first we have another big game on Thursday (against Tottenham ) to focus on."

De Gea added: “We prepared the penalties as always, I tried to put pressure on each of their takers. Our team took perfect penalties so we are delighted we are in the final."
