Pre-match quotes from Jose Mourinho
On the importance of bouncing back after defeat in midweek: "It's another knock-out match. It's doubly important because it's a match after a defeat [against Sevilla in midweek]."
On the threat posed by Brighton: "They were a difficult side when they came here in the league. Of course they have improved with the experience and amazing work by Chris Hughton and this is the kind of match where they don't have anything to lose. They are going to come with everything to try to go to Wembley."
Quotes from BT Sport
The players are out on the pitch at Old Trafford and kick-off is just moments away!
Manchester United 0-0 Brighton
4' - Anthony Martial has United's first shot of the match from distance but his effort is deflected behind for a corner, which comes to nothing for the hosts.
Manchester United 0-0 Brighton
9' - Not too much of note to report on from the early stages at Old Trafford. United, as you'd expect, having the lion's share of possession but, as you'd also expect, they're not doing too much with the ball.
