Footage of Manchester United star Wout Weghorst, stemming from the club’s FA Cup triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion, has come to the fore late on Sunday evening.
United, of course, kicked the club’s pursuit of a domestic cup double back into action earlier today.
With a League Cup title already in the bag, Erik ten Hag’s troops made the trip to Wembley, for an FA Cup semi-final showdown with the aforementioned Brighton.
And, when all was said and done, the Red Devils, just, got the job done, booking a showpiece meeting with neighbours Man City in the process.
After the two sides could not be separated across a full 120 minutes, a tense penalty shootout ensued, with Victor Lindelof proving himself the hero in slotting away Man United’s 7th and final spot-kick.

Lindelof’s decisive effort came about after Solly March became the first, and only penalty taker to fluff his lines, blazing a dismal left-footed effort some way clear of the crossbar.
Fresh off slotting away his own penalty, United’s on-loan frontman approached March, to hand the ball over to the Brighton wide-man.
Just before doing so, though, Weghorst laid a kiss on the ball, evidently in the hope of swinging luck in his side’s favour.
And the rest, as they say, is history…
Watch Wout Weghorst with the ball before handing it to Solly March… the kiss of death 😘#BHAMUN #EmiratesFACuphttps://t.co/ipOeF7dszo
