However, Carrick, a Champions League victor with United, has seen better days and realises that the club have fallen short this season. When we win titles or trophies I think he will be more recognised.

“I’m not looking at anything other than this competition”, the Dutchman said when asked about his future.

But FA Cup success is unlikely to be enough to save Van Gaal, who has yet to win over the Old Trafford faithful.

Of De Gea’s happiness and future at Old Trafford after his move to Real Madrid collapsed past year, Herrera added: “I think he is very happy in Manchester United”.

The Toffees were far better after the break and were awarded a penalty in the 56th minute when Ross Barkley was brought down in the box after a “scissors” challenge by Timothy Fosu-Mensah.

United will make their first appearance in the final for nine years after Martial capped a wild second half that ended in a 2-1 victory for Louis van Gaal’s side at Wembley on Saturday.

“We have showed spirit a lot of times already”.

“In the second half I think the referee changed the match”. I think the referee. we didn’t have any fouls in our benefit.

“We need quick, creative players, I’ve said that also, in the transfer period. He’s the main reason why we’ve got to this final”.

Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney will use Paul Scholes as his role model as a permanent move into a deeper role now looks a certainty for the Manchester United captain.

“I had never heard of Thomas Muller at Bayern Munich before Van Gaal managed him and he’s now one of the best players in the world”.

“He more often than not gets the beating of them and that’s great for us because you just want to feed players like that who are constantly that high on confidence all season”.

“Obviously it is down to the manager, it is his decision and for the team more importantly it is the right thing to do at this moment in time”.
