Team News: Marouane Fellaini returns to Manchester United side for FA Cup final

Manchester United make two changes for their FA Cup showdown with Crystal Palace, with Marouane Fellaini and Marcos Rojo returning to the side.

Marouane Fellaini has been named in Manchester United's starting lineup for this evening's FA Cup final clash against Crystal Palace.

The Belgium international returns from a three-game ban to take his place in a side showing two changes from last time out.

Marcos Rojo is the other addition to the Red Devils' XI, with Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Jesse Lingard the men to make way at Wembley Stadium.

United include just one player with FA Cup-winning pedigree, meanwhile - Juan Mata, who lifted the trophy with Chelsea here in 2012.

In terms of the Eagles, who are going in search of their first ever piece of major silverware, they include Wilfried Zaha from the off against his former suitors.

Zaha appeared to be in tears when walking around the ground pre-match, but the winger has overcome his month-long injury problem to be included for Palace.

Semi-final matchwinner Connor Wickham is another of the returning players this evening, leading the line for his side after being selected over Emmanuel Adebayor.

Palace boss Alan Pardew is aiming to make it third time lucky today, having lost the 1990 final - against Man United - as a player and the 2006 final as a manager of West Ham United.

Crystal Palace: Hennessey, Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare, Zaha, Cabaye, McArthur, Jedinak, Bolasie, Wickham
Subs: Speroni, Kelly, Mariappa, Sako, Puncheon, Gayle, Adebayor

Manchester United: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Mata, Rooney, Martial, Rashford
Subs: Romero, Darmian, Jones, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Young, Lingard
