    Ruud Gullit
    Ex-Chelsea manager at Wembley on BBC One

    "I love Marcus Rashford, he is a very clever player. On the right, how he gets away from players. He keeps the opposition occupied all the time, gets himself into good positions. What I like too is that he keeps his head up, always looking for players. He has no fear."

    Who does Marcus Rashford run like? As in his physical gait. His style?

    It's bugging me.

    Mark Clattenburg is under scrutiny from the panel in the studio. He's not coming out of this well.

    Danny Murphy
    Ex-Liverpool midfielder at Wembley on BBC One

    "I can see what Palace are trying to do, defend and play on the break, but they're so deep, and they haven't passed it well enough. They need to be 15 yards further up the pitch, because they've been dominated."  

  5. 'Shocking performance'published at 18:24 British Summer Time 21 May 2016

    Alan Shearer
    Ex-England captain at Wembley with BBC One

    "Crystal Palace are getting 10 men behind the ball and every time they get the ball back they are trying to find Connor Wickham and catch Manchester United out on the counter-attack. It would have worked but for a shocking referee performance in the first 45 minutes."

    "Manchester United have dominated the game, they've created chances, but none of them outstanding. Palace will be happy it's still 0-0, but they've given a lot away."

    Each of Manchester United's last three FA Cup finals have been goalless at half time, with the Red Devils failing to score at all in 2007 & 2005.

    Half-time. Wayne Rooney is the captain who approaches Mark Clattenburg for some clarity, but it's Crystal Palace who will bemoan a few calls.

    "Palace are happy defending like this. There's a lot of bodies Manchester United have to get through. Louis van Gaal's side need to get the ball out wide and stretch the Palace defence."

    Anthony Martial into the penalty area, he's so exciting in that zone, but fellow Frenchman Yohan Cabaye makes the decision to go to ground and just about toes it away.

    Charlie: Clattenburg is having an absolute Weston Super.

    Callum Anderson: Basically: Mark Clattenberg needs to calm down and wait a couple of seconds before blowing his whistle.

    Jay: It is all setting up very well for a dramatic Puncheon winner...

    "At a major event we talk about good performances from the players but you also need a good performance from the referee. Mark Clattenburg makes his decision too early and should have allowed that to go."

    "We saw the good and bad of Wayne Rooney there. It was a poor ball to Daley Blind and then he got back. Rooney didn't get any of the ball but Wilfried Zaha just tripped."

    "Zaha seemed to be lacking confidence; he gave Rooney the time to get back with the challenge. Manchester United have been on top. but they need to make their dominance count."

    The quality control is not great but this is far from dull. Great tempo and drive to the game. You get the feeling a mistake may be critical but we could do with a goal.
