We want to be in the final and we have one more step to take.” United are in fine fettle heading into the affair after putting together a run of three consecutive wins as they hunt down a top-four finish in the Premier League as well as FA Cup success. Fellaini, who came on strong towards the end of last season for United, hopes he can do so again this term, saying he receives plenty of encouragement from manager Louis van Gaal. "It's a special stadium and there will be a lot of emotion on the day," Fellaini added."Teams can tire at this time of the season, so you want to stay fresh in your head and mind, so you can do your best. But the most important thing is the result. "I enjoy my role and whenever the manager puts me in the team, I always give everything. He trusts me, he knows what I can do."The manager and his staff know my qualities and that gives me confidence."</blockquote>
