Manchester United are looking to end a dismal season on a high when they look to deny Manchester City back-to-back FA Cup triumphs.

Raphael Varane is fighting to be fit for the showpiece at Wembley Stadium on Saturday in what will be his final hurrah in a United shirt.

Injuries have plagued the experienced Frenchman's time in the North West. A signing that brought so much excitement, for many reasons including his trophy-laden career to date, hasn't transpired as many would have hoped.

And while there has been change off the field, instructed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe following his minority takeover, there could be wholesale alterations on it too.
