Jose Mourinho has named the three players who will definitely start against Spurs for Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley on Saturday.

The Red Devils boss made seven changes to the side that lost to West Brom on Sunday for United's 2-0 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday night.

Mourinho also warned that anyone playing in the fixture at the Vitality Stadium also had a chance to start against Spurs.

Goals from Chris Smalling and Romelu Lukaku wrapped up all three points for the visitors on the south coast.

Following the clash, Mourinho spoke about who will play against Spurs and said: "I will not play this eleven but all of them told me they want to play,"

"Obviously I will play with Antonio Valencia, Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku but this eleven have told me they want to be there and they are ready."

When asked about his players' response to the West Brom defeat, Mourinho added: "The players we good. It was a good professional performance with good effort and responsibility.

"There was desire to score and a desire to cope with the defensive responsibilities against a fast team.

"Everything was faster, it was simple. The players were in the right positions and not trying one more flick, one more trick. Everything was good, I am happy."
