'We're in a different place as a club': Brighton's Lewis Dunk, the last man left of their FA Cup trip to Wembley in 2019, says Roberto De Zerbi's men have what it takes to take down Man United in the semi-finals this year

Lewis Dunk, the only Brighton player still at the club who played in their FA Cup semi-final defeat in 2019, says they are a totally different prospect to what they were back then.

Brighton lost that Wembley showdown 1-0 to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

After Sunday's draw paired them with Erik ten Hag's Manchester United in next month's semi-finals, Dunk says they are on the verge of bigger and better things under Roberto De Zerbi.

'We're in a different place as a club and a group and we go there confident in our ability to get into a final,' Dunk said after Sunday's 5-0 win over League Two Grimsby in the quarter-finals.
