Wayne Rooney was all smiles as he and his Manchester United team-mates belatedly began their preparations for this Saturday's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace. Louis van Gaal put his players through their paces on Thursday morning after plans for the Wembley showpiece were scuppered by their final Premier League fixture with Bournemouth originally being cancelled when a dummy bomb was found in a toilet. Having come through the rearranged game with a 3-1 victory, United finished the season in fifth - level on points with rivals Manchester City but outside of the Champions League places on goal difference.
Manchester United have missed him for the majority of this campaign but Luke Shaw has given them a boost ahead of next season.
The left back was a welcome sight on the training pitch on Thursday as the Red Devils continued their preparations for Saturday's FA Cup final.
Shaw hasn't featured for the Red Devils since suffering a horrific double leg break during their Champions League group stage defeat at PSV, last September.

Shaw won't feature in United's season finale in the FA Cup against Crystal Palace at Wembley though
The left back made 10 appearances for club and country before his horrific leg break last September
However, the defender is nearing a return to fitness and took part in first-team training at their Aon Training Complex on Thursday - eight months on from his horror injury.
The 20-year-old won't play any part in Saturday's FA Cup final against Crystal Palace though, with United reluctant to rush him back until the start of the 2016-17 seaso
