FA Cup semi-final draw pushes United further towards season without European football... and closer to Woodward's idea of globe-trotting glamour friendlies

Sunday's FA Cup semi-final draw had giant ramifications for Manchester United despite the fact David Moyes' side will not be making a trip to Wembley this year. Father and son duo Ian Wright and Shaun Wright-Phillips announced that Hull City will play Sheffield United, with Arsenal facing a tough task against one of last year's finalists in either Manchester City or Wigan and in doing so confirmed that seventh place would no longer claim a place in next year's Europa League. Should United finish seventh it could see Ed Woodward's idea of glamour friendlies across the globe to fill weeks previously dedicated to European nights to make up the shortfall.
