Luke Shaw has spoken about the prospect of playing in a first final for United after missing the 2017 final due to injury. The defender did not feature in the 2017 EFL Cup triumph over Southampton and 2018 FA Cup final loss to Antonio Conte's Chelsea.
He said: “Of course personally it’s massive motivation.
“I’ve been quite unfortunate not to be involved in semis and finals, so of course I’m really looking forward to tomorrow night, to step out in one.
“But from a team point of view, it’s very important. In the past we’ve missed out on a few finals and I think this season, the way we’ve been playing, the way the confidence is high, we’ve got real belief that we can reach it."
