Utd have had quite a few chances.


Everton look more potent when attacking, United in comparison are stand-off ish and wouldn't look out of place in League One.


Everton have been the better side in the last 20 minutes but not before that.

Can't help feeling Utd will pay for these missed opportunities.

Just by the law of averages, Lukaku has got to score at some point during this game.

Utd will be kicking themselves that they didn't have this game dead and buried before Everton got that penalty. There was only one side in this semi-final until then.

Gotta feel for Everton. They gave it a good go and made this an entertaining semi final.

Totally understandable though. It's a shame that the rules apply in such a way that what Herrera did is only worth a yellow. At no point did Herrera even intend to put a tackle in, let alone try and win the ball.

Right result though. Utd were the better side over the 90 minutes.

I can understand Brakley's frustration, much like I did with Beckham.

I only saw a few minutes of the match, and that's what I saw. No surprise there.... it seems to me that that is all that football is, these days

Who cares.

FA Cup Final in this awful season. Brilliant from Martial. Rashford is so refreshing.

Winning the Cup might just give Van Gaal more time, good or bad news?

Good if he keeps going on the way he has in the last few weeks. All that money on big name signings and the decent players were right under his nose in the youth set up.

Yep, and if Jose comes in, dont expect that youth set up to be used to often.
