Twice Erik ten Hag’s men had to stage late comebacks to reach the last four. Two goals in three minutes from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah towards the end of the first half swung the game in Liverpool’s favour after Scott McTominay opened the scoring.
Antony’s first goal at Old Trafford for more than a year kept United alive to send the game into extra-time.
Liverpool edged in front once again when Harvey Elliott’s deflected shot found the bottom corner.
But Marcus Rashford, who had missed a glorious chance to win the tie deep into injury time, made amends by drilling home to make it 3-3.
