Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has warned his team-mates against losing their focus ahead of Saturday's FA Cup semi-final meeting with Watford.

United are currently on a high after their 7-1 Champions League quarter-final second leg thrashing of AS Roma on Tuesday night.

But the France international full-back has warned his Red Devils colleagues not to under-estimate the challenge posed by Watford at Villa Park despite United picking up maximum points from their two Premiership meetings this season.

"We have a lot of confidence but now is a dangerous moment because everybody is saying 'Man United will win the Champions League and the FA Cup because they have beaten Roma 7-1', so we have to be careful," he told MUTV.

"Roma is finished. Okay, we scored seven goals and it was beautiful, but we have to think about Watford now because it is a difficult game. The FA Cup is very important for us and everybody's focus is the semi-final.

"I have won the League Cup already but the FA Cup is more special. Every team in England plays in it and wants to win it. It is very, very important to me.

"I hope everybody is concentrating and wants to work hard to finish the season.

"We have three trophies to win and to do that would be unbelievable. But you never know in football."
