Manchester United : Your matchday Q&A with Solskjaer

Those two semi-finals you mentioned in 1999 and 2004 were both magical, weren't they?
'I have to say the 2004 one was when I came back from injury and I played up front on my own. It was at Villa Park, wasn't it? I was happy with my contribution but of course the 1999 one with Giggsy's fantastic goal was at Villa Park as well when Peter [Schmeichel] saved that penalty which I think tipped the balance in our favour. They would have probably won the Double if it wasn't for that save, but then we won the Treble!'

Is the FA Cup still magic as far as you're concerned?
'I think so. It [the final] is the one big game I looked forward to every year as a youngster back in Norway. It's the last game after the [league] season is done, seeing the teams walk out at Wembley. We've got a chance [to win the competition] but it's a tough, tough challenge and we are looking forward to it.'
