Sir Dave Brailsford celebrated emphatically after Manchester United's dramatic last-gasp victory over Liverpool on Sunday.

The Red Devils and their arch-rivals played out an enthralling FA Cup tie at Old Trafford, but extra-time was required to determine who would advance to the semi-finals of the competition.

The Ineos director of sport has been a prominent figure at Manchester United since Ratcliffe acquired a 27.7 per cent stake in the club and was once again in attendance for Sunday's big match.

It was outlined by the host of MUTV during the club's post-match stream that Brailsford, who is renowned for keeping his emotions in check, was punching the air in jubilation after watching United down Liverpool.

With Brailsford primed for a significant role at the club as part of the Ratcliffe regime, there's every chance that the former cycling guru will have a big say in the future of Ten Hag, who remains under pressure.

United beat Liverpool to advance to the FA Cup semi-finals in dramatic fashion.

Speculation that he could be sacked by Ineos at the end of the campaign have failed to subside in recent weeks, particularly given Ratcliffe has failed to publicly endorse the former Ajax chief.

Speaking before Sunday's big win, Ten Hag remained defiant in the wake of such rumours, insisting that the club are still on the right path.
