Man United have overcome several setbacks in recent weeks, often refusing to throw the towel in, resulting in them fighting until the very end of matches.
When Manchester United's supporters march down Wembley Way next month, most of them will almost certainly still be reminiscing about the Amad goal that made it possible.
READ MORE: I spotted what Alejandro Garnacho did after United goal vs Liverpool and it says a lot about the youngsterAntony's first Old Trafford goal since February last year, which made it 2-2, clawed United level with 87 minutes on the clock, securing Erik ten Hag's side another 30 minutes to keep their FA Cup dream alive. The Brazilian's instinctive finish marked the 13th goal United have scored beyond the 80th minute in all competitions this season, excluding extra-time efforts.
As a result, United are developing a reputation, just as they so often did under Sir Alex Ferguson, of striking late and being at the centre of drama. Though their performances over the course of 90 minutes, or in Sunday's case 120, are not as polished and complete as Ten Hag would probably like, they are, more often than not, finding a way to get the job done.
Ultimately, United's willingness to keep going until the final whistle is highlighting the levels of belief and determination within the squad. Ten Hag, at various junctures, has often praised his side's character and mentality this season, meaning their heroics against Liverpool may not have come as that great a surprise to him.
The character they are continuing to display squashes any suggestions Ten Hag has lost the dressing room. A lot of these players seem willing to run through a brick wall for the Dutchman.
