Manchester United's combative midfielder Nemanja Matic insists the 2-0 win over Huddersfield was vital in order to boost the Reds' confidence ahead of the tough trip to Sevilla on Wednesday in the Champions League.
Two Romelu Lukaku goals secured safe progression into the last eight of the Emirates FA Cup on a night when VAR hit the headlines again as Juan Mata's first-half strike was ruled out for offside after a long delay.
Despite the confusion with VAR, Matic declared the result is a much-needed boost to the Reds' morale with a tough test at Sevilla next up for Jose Mourinho's men on Wednesday.
