Talking points

• Manchester United have reached the FA Cup semi-final for the first time since 2011. Is this the time Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick win their first FA Cup trophy?

• Wayne Rooney makes his return from injury. What does this mean for Rashford (who has scored 6 times in 11 games)? What does it mean for how we set up here on out?

• Did Fellaini prove doubters wrong?

• Fosu Mensah with another stand out performance. How do we think he'll fare in the coming years?

• Was this another example of United getting a result that saves van Gaal's job? Not good enough to be acceptable but not exactly bad enough to fire on the spot?
