As Manchester United kept alive their chances of silverware this season with a 2-1 win over Tottenham to reach the final of the FA Cup, it was clear that Jose Mourinho had already turned his thoughts towards next season.

With Michael Carrick retiring and Marouane Fellani looking likely to leave, midfield might be the main area of reinforcement but Mourinho said that he will not spend ridiculous amounts of money.

Instead, he is looking - in keeping with the club's proud traditions - to give opportunities to younger players. That is something he has been accused of neglecting in the past but, if he makes good on his word, that could be about to change.

In a season where the former Inter manager has divided opinion - to say the least - that promise, combined with a win in such a big game has got the United fans back onside, to some degree anyway.

We've taken a closer look at the best of the reaction...
