Man Utd midfielder Fellaini gunning for old boys Everton in FA Cup

Marouane Fellaini is casting sentiment to the side when Manchester United meet Everton in the FA Cup semi-final this weekend.

Fellaini's current employers, the Red Devils, meet his old club the Toffees at Wembley on Saturday and the midfielder is planning to help United exact revenge on the Merseysiders who got the better of them in the 2009 cup semi.

"I played against United that day and won, but that is in the past and I want to win again — this time with United," said the Belgium international. "That's my aim.

"It's always strange to play against your former team, but we know what we have to do. We want to be in the final and we have one more step to take. Wembley is a special stadium and there will be a lot of emotion on the day.

"The FA Cup is a big competition and everyone always wants to get to Wembley.

"We are there for the semi-finals and we have to finish the job now."
