It might be April but finally Manchester United fans have something to be happy for. Okay so there's been the odd game against Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City to shout about but there's been little else to cheer until now!
On Wednesday United best West Ham to go through to the semi-final of the FA Cup and actually give them a chance at silverware that's never felt more undeserved at Old Trafford.
However with TV being TV and the FA being the FA they made the stupid decision to make United vs Everton a 5pm Saturday evening kick-off on a day with work on the north west train line meaning there's no trains back to Manchester and Liverpool.

United though have come to the aid of their fans by offering free coaches for those who are heading to Wembley. A statement from the club said:
"Due to limited transport options after the game, Manchester United have arranged free coach travel for fans wishing to make the round trip from Old Trafford to Wembley Stadium, as a thank you for your continued support throughout the season. Coach travel from Old Trafford to Wembley Stadium for the FA Cup Semi-Final v Everton free of charge, fully subsidised by Manchester United."
The offer is for those season ticket holders and members who apply for the travel and is a really nice gesture from the club that provides a viable way for some supporters to actually go to a game that otherwise would have been difficult to travel back from.

Fans will be hoping that they've a little more to celebrate on the pitch just yet!
