Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal will not start the FA Cup final with the same team that went up against Bournemouth in their final Premier League game of the season on Tuesday. The drama began the night before as it appears Van Gaal has dropped his fellow countryman, Winger Memphis Depay.
Here’s a link to much more on that situation. There were a few other players left out of United’s train down south to London, as well as a couple players who returned to full match fitness. We detailed that over at this link.
Hence, those changes are now reflected in this lineup below with our Man United starting XI prediction.
Marcus Rashford
Anthony Martial Wayne Rooney Jesse Lingard
Michael Carrick Juan Mata
Marcos Rojo Daley Blind Chris Smalling Matteo Darmian
David de Gea
