And then there were two.

While some, Rio Ferdinand included, would write this season off as a failure for Manchester United regardless of the FA Cup final outcome, silverware is vital from fans' points of view. United haven't won a competitive trophy since Alex Ferguson's retirement and supporters' patience is growing thin. Manchester United v A.F.C. Bournemouth - Premier League Louis van Gaal can thicken that patience if he delivers the FA Cup to the increasingly dusty trophy cabinet at Old Trafford but whether it acts as a parting gift or not is unknown, with the rumours of Jose Mourinho's impending appointment rolling back around this weekend. This is the team selected by the Dutchman, with Fellaini presumably playing a vital role in terms of the set-piece dangers that are synonymous with Crystal Palace. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/734041261976498176 https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/734041340527452161 Kick-off is at 5.30 from Wembley.
