They stuck with the team at Selhurst Park even after the final whistle.

Now Dalot wants to give them something back with victory over bitter rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

Dalot, 25, said: "I’m going to be really honest with you... after that game against Palace, the way the fans were supporting us, it was almost like a feeling that we didn’t deserve that.

"After conceding four goals against Palace, a 4-0 defeat, they were still there, pushing us, after the awful game we had.

"This is the type of thing that shows why these fans are special.

"Every time there is a Man Utd game, they always think something special will happen, and that’s the beautiful thing about this club.

"They are always expecting something special, so we’re going into the game on Saturday to try to give them a special afternoon."

Dalot says United have no fear as they aim for revenge in a repeat of last year’s final.

He said: "They've dominated so much in the last few years... they've created this fear factor.

"But when you're playing Man Utd vs Man City, I don't believe they come in with the idea that we fear them.


“They know we can beat them, we have done it before, so on Saturday we have to do it again.”

Dalot has been named United’s Players’ Player of the Year and now wants that FA Cup winner’s medal to go with it.
