FA Cup semi-final: Manchester United versus Everton

Emirates FA Cup @ Wembley: Manchester United v Everton: Man Utd Favored to defeat Everton!

Manchester United will go to Wembley on Saturday to battle Everton in their FA Cup Semi-final with confidence after they easily defeated Crystal Palace 2-0 at home in an impressive display of their talent. Louis Van Gaal’s United side will face Everton at Wembley on April 23rd in the first of the 2016 Emirates FA Cup Semi-Finals. Saturday’s clash offers The Reds the opportunity to reach their first FA Cup Final since 2007.

Appearing to be assured and comfortable United took the field versus Crystal Palace with authority, got off to a great start, and continued to dominate throughout the entire match.

Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney, and Marcus Rashford were key players in the victory against Allen Pardew’s side as United moved up the EPL Table to only one point behind Arsenal. United Captain Rooney appeared to be fully recovered and fit after two months out with a knee injury. Rooney has not ever won the FA Cup, and hopes to be on the winning team this time after being left out of Man United's 2009 semi-final loss in the coveted cup tournament.

United secured a sixth straight Premier League win at Old Trafford increasing their confidence while putting pressure on Arsenal and Manchester City in the ongoing fight for a top-four spot. Louis van Gaal was rewarded in his decision not to rest players against Crystal Palace to boost United’s chances of winning their FA Cup semi-final against Everton due to fresher footballers.

United defeated Crystal Palace at Old Trafford putting added stress on The Gunners only 24 hours ahead of Arsenal’s home game against West Bromwich Albion, closing the gap to Arsene Wenger’s side. Louis Van Gaal’s side won the FA Cup Quarter-Final replay against West Ham United to earn the right to compete against Everton at Wembley.

Second-half goals from United’s teenage star Marcus Rashford and veteran striker Marouane Fellaini saw United through to the semis in spite of a late fightback from Slaven Bilic’s side. United controlled the match for 85 minutes against West Ham to secure a 2-1 victory.

"They scored and made it very nervous, but David De Gea saved us with a fantastic save,” said Dutchman Louis van Gaal. "But when you see the match, we have deserved it and had the bigger chances." Rashford has scored six goals in 11 games since his debut earlier this year and the eighteen-year-old seems exceptionally poised for his age and able to cope with a lot of attention from United supporters and the media.

"He is very focused on his work, I admire that," added Van Gaal. "When you are so young and with so much attention, it is not easy and he is scoring so many important goals. Van Gaal believes that closing the gap on Arsenal is now the priority – and winning is the best way to put pressure on Arsenal and Manchester City in the title race at the top of the Premier League Table.

“You can only give pressure by winning and we have to win for ourselves.” Van Gaal’s side can possibly earn fifteen points from their remaining five games. The Man Utd boss said that The Reds may need to win all five remaining games to qualify for a spot in the Champions League.

“I cannot predict, but it is a competitive league, which is why our rivals are also losing,” remarked Van Gaal. “A lot of teams are losing and we have to look at our final five games and winning them.” Manchester United host Premier League leaders Leicester City in a not-to-be-missed game on May 1st at Old Trafford.
