Paul Scholes says that an FA Cup win for Manchester United is "long overdue".

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has claimed that winning the FA Cup is "long overdue" for his former club.

The Red Devils have not won the trophy since 2004, but they have a chance to claim it for a 12th time when they take on Crystal Palace in the final at Wembley this afternoon.

Since United's last triumph in the competition, they have only managed to reach the final twice.

"It's been disappointing as we obviously want to be in the FA Cup final as it's a big day," the Manchester Evening News quotes Scholes as saying. "It's long overdue but I also think it hasn't really been a priority.

"I think people are probably assuming United are going to win it but it's going to be a tough game. Crystal Palace are a decent side and I think they can cause any teams problems, so I think it will be tight."

The match will kick off at 5.30pm.
