Manchester City chief Patrick Vieira admits winning the FA Cup can rescue their season.

Vieira confesses this season hasn't been a success.

He said: "Has this season been a success? No. The aim this season was to retain the title and do better in the Champions League so, no, you can't say our season was a success.

"We're in the Cup Final so that's a good way of saving the season.

"But we had a team you'd expect to do better. We could have done better."
