    Fee is hoping the players will not be swayed by rumours about the manager's position. Fee said: "It doesn't affect any of us because we have to focus on the rest of the season. Because we still have a chance in the league to qualify for Europe, we have to finish as high as possible and we have the FA Cup final to play."
    "So we don't worry about [the coach] because it's not something we should worry about, either externally or internally. Our owners and the top brass will take care of that and then we players on the pitch have to do well and do our best."
    "There are times when you can be a little bit lax," Fee admitted of the game, "we should have put more pressure on the opponent, but we became loose and gave them more space." Sometimes we might need to go deeper and be more compact to avoid giving them too much space and we need to press them more."
    "Obviously, I felt the team had good moments today, we could put pressure on them and make them big feet. With Maguire and Casemiro winning the ball at the back, we should be pressing high rather than defending defensively. But in the end, they scored some lucky goals, but at the same time we have to give them a big round of applause."
    And on reaching the FA Cup final, Fee said: "Obviously, it's a bit complicated, but at the same time, we have to be happy with it. This is our second year in a row in the FA Cup final and we know how difficult it is to get there. Obviously we want to go into the final in a different way and we know the result is in our hands."
    "For the first 70 minutes we played very well, controlled the game, they did very well, they believed in themselves, they gave everything to get back into the game and they did, we have to pay tribute to Coventry for what they did today, but we had everything in place to get a comfortable win."
    "It's an honour to be in the FA Cup final, you don't just get to the final, not all teams come here often."

    "Darren Fletcher spoke in front of the team before the game, he has played at one of the best United teams, he has played at Wembley three times in the FA Cup. He played for the club for 12 years and he was part of the most successful years of the club. It shows how important it is to get to the FA Cup final and how difficult it is."
    "Of course we have to be frustrated with the way the game ended, but at the same time we are proud to be in the FA Cup final for the second year in a row and hope for a different result this time."
