Manchester United fans have urged Raphael Varane to ensure bitter rivals Manchester City do not win the treble.
City were named Premier League champions on Saturday after Arsenal were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest. They are also through to the final of the UEFA Champions League after beating Real Madrid, where they will meet Italian giants Inter Milan.
United face Pep Guardiola's side at Wembley in the FA Cup final, which is the first-ever Manchester derby at this stage in the competition. Victory for United would stop City from emulating their historic treble-winning season from 1999 - with United fans desperately hoping their side can win to claim some silverware and prevent City's Treble bid.
