Louis van Gaal: 'Full focus on Crystal Palace match'

Man United manager Louis van Gaal insists that he is not thinking about the upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Everton ahead of their midweek clash with Crystal Palace.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has insisted that he is fully focused on Wednesday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

United will welcome the Eagles to Old Trafford looking to close the gap on fourth-placed Arsenal to just one point, but there were suggestions that Van Gaal could make changes to his team with one eye on Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Everton at Wembley.

However, the Dutchman believes that their midweek outing is too important for him to play anything other than a full-strength side and refused to look further ahead than Wednesday night.

"For us it is too important to rotate because of freshness for the semi-final. For me, now, the most important thing is to beat Crystal Palace. To speak about the semi-final against Everton isn't appropriate," he told reporters.

United have never lost a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, winning 10 and drawing three of their 13 clashes.
