FA Cup Semi-Final Draw: Latest Updates
Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom is hoping to avoid Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals so that loanee Tommy Doyle can emulate his childhood dream.
Doyle enjoys the chance to follow in his grandparents’ footsteps by playing at Wembley after launching the Blades into the FA Cup semi-final with a stunning stoppage-time win against Blackburn.
The midfielder, who is on loan from City, watched video footage of his paternal grandfather Mike Doyle and maternal grandfather Glenn Pardew playing at parent club’s National Stadium in the late 1960s and 1970s, and can now do it himself 25 years later. The -yard Thunderbolt claimed a dramatic 3-2 quarter-final victory at Bramall Lane.
That dream could be complicated if the Blades are paired with Pep Guardiola’s squad, who may not give permission for Doyle and fellow loanee James McAtee to play against them.
Heckingbottom said: “I hope we don’t paint City, we don’t complicate things with loans, that’s what I hope, but we’ll wait and see.
“It has to be discussed, it only complicates things, if we avoid them they are our players and if we draw them, they are their players.”

FA Cup Semi-Final Draw: Latest Updates
Manchester United welcome Fulham to Old Trafford hoping to continue their quest for the treble. United beat Real Betis in the Europa League on Thursday and will face rivals Sevilla in the quarter-finals. Having won the Carabao Cup in February, Erik ten Hag’s men will want to continue their FA Cup hunt, with the club still looking to win a treble of cups this season.
Fulham entered the match after painful losses against Arsenal and Brentford, but beat Leeds United in the fifth round to set up a match against United, and the Cougars have a terrible record in the FA Cup, as they never won the championship. They were runners-up on one occasion, in the 1974/75 season. Fulham fans are hoping to turn their domestic cup fortunes around, but history tells us that is unlikely.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Tommy Doyle took matters into his own hands to ensure he would emulate his grandparents by playing at Wembley after launching Sheffield United into the FA Cup semi-final with a stunning stoppage time win against Blackburn Rovers.
The Manchester City loanee watched video footage of his paternal grandfather Mike Doyle and maternal grandfather Glenn Pardew playing at City’s National Stadium in the late 1960s and 1970s, and will now join them as the 25-yard Thunderbolts make a 3-2. Quarter-final win at Bramall Lane.
His shot completed a late conversion as United exited, trailing by goals from Ben Brereton Diaz and Sam Schmodex, which came either side of Sam Gallagher’s goal, until the final ten minutes.
Ollie McBurney leveled the Blades in the 81st minute before the Doyle champions booked their first FA Cup semi-final place since 2014 in a thrilling game.
It was tough on Blackburn, who are yet to play at the new Wembley, but will now focus all their attention on the promotion push to the Championship.

Pep Guardiola joked that Erling Haaland’s goal-scoring record would make things more difficult for the player in the future as expectations were now high for him.
Guardiola said: “This player will face a problem in the future. Every match he is expected to score three or four goals, and this will not happen.”
“He doesn’t care because he’s so positive, so optimistic and never complains. Julian, again, what a partnership. When they play together they score goals.
“Goal numbers (for Haaland), I don’t know but if we play well, Erling will score goals. It’s unbelievable that he scores goals by playing just one hour. Very effective, incredible threat. His joy is in life.”
