Team News: Marouane Fellaini, Marcos Rojo back for Manchester United

Marouane Fellaini and Marcos Rojo return for Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final with Everton.

Marouane Fellaini and Marcos Rojo have returned to the Manchester United starting XI for their FA Cup semi-final with Everton at Wembley this evening.

In all, manager Louis van Gaal makes four changes to the side that defeated Crystal Palace in midweek as he looks to remain in the hunt for silverware this season.

Marcus Rashford continues to spearhead the United attack, with support from Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial, while Fellaini and Michael Carrick return to the middle of the park as Morgan Schneiderlin and Juan Mata drop to the bench.

Van Gaal makes two alterations to his defence, preferring Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Rojo to Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian.

Meanwhile, under-pressure Toffees manager Roberto Martinez makes four changes to the side that suffered a 4-0 drubbing in the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Wednesday.

Phil Jagielka returns to the back four after overcoming a hamstring injury, while Darron Gibson will play in an unusual centre-back role, with John Stones expected to move out to the right as Bryan Oviedo drops to the bench.

Gareth Barry has failed a late fitness test and plays no part in the matchday squad, and Kevin Mirallas starts among the substitutes as Tom Cleverley and Muhamed Besic come into the middle of the park.

Everton: Joel; Baines, Gibson, Stones, Jagielka; Lennon, Cleverley, McCarthy, Besic, Barkley; Lukaku
Subs: Howard, Hibbert, Oviedo, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Osman, Pennington

Manchester United: De Gea; Fosu-Mensah, Smalling, Blind, Rojo; Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard; Rooney, Martial; Rashford
Subs: Romero, Darmian, Valencia, Herrera, Mata, Schneiderlin, Memphis
