Last day drama Hull City v United


The title already found it's place in the trophy cabinet at Oldtrafford and what remains is the battle at the bottom . Hull who in the start of the season claimed the third spot are now looking to avoid drop to the Championship . United who have last week won the Title have the luxury of resting their key players before the Champions league final . There has been much debate about the strength of the side Ferguson intends to play against Hull ahead of Wednesday's final in Rome.Much has been made over whether the title winners have a duty to Hull's relegation rivals to field their best line-up, but Sir Alex Ferguson can surely be forgiven for giving his key players a rest ahead of next Wednesday's UEFA Champions League final.

United boss Ferguson is certain to make changes to his team, with the trip to Rome in mind, but Rio Ferdinand could feature.
Kuszczak is likely to start, while Brazilian twins Rafael and Fabio could be at full-back, with captain Gary Neville used at centre-half.

Darren Fletcher seems set to play due to the midfielder being suspended for the Champions League final, and the likes of Darron Gibson, Rodrigo Possebon and Nani could be involved.

Teenage duo Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck are in contention for a starting role and Carlos Tevez could be handed a start for potentially his final Premier League appearance for the club.


Hull will be hoping to welcome back Kamil Zayatte and Bernard Mendy for the game. Midfield pair Ian Ashbee and Jimmy Bullard are long-term absentees, while Brown will have to make a change up front as on-loan striker Manucho is ineligible to face his parent club.Caleb Folan is back from suspension, so could replace Manucho, although Craig Fagan and Daniel Cousin are other options for Brown.
