José Mourinho has questioned why Manchester United's final game of the Premier League season can not be brought forward by 24 hours to help them prepare better for next Wednesday's Europa League final against Ajax.
Asked when De Gea is next expected to be in a United shirt, the Portuguese said: "I think the first match against LA Galaxy in pre-season in Los Angeles".
"We played a good team, a team who tried to win and tried to finish well".
"The last match against Crystal Palace, two days before the final, for me is unacceptable especially because we are sixth and never [finishing] fifth, never [finishing] seventh and Crystal Palace is not going to be relegated too", he said. Sergio had a very good performance - more than very good.
"I hope the fans on Sunday support the team, they forgive some naivety, they forgive some lack of confidence and I hope Big Sam (Allardyce, Palace's manager) shows he's a good friend and he goes slow".
Having already confirmed goalkeeper Joel Pereira's inclusion, he explained: 'I will bring [Demetri] Mitchell, he was on the bench, [Scott] McTominay, he was on the bench.
The game was only five minutes old when an impulsive decision by Eric Bailly, and some generous officiating, gifted Southampton a chance to go ahead.
Senate committee wants Comey to testify
The Senate intelligence committee on Wednesday asked Comey to appear before the panel in both open and closed sessions. He said he would give the Federal Bureau of Investigation a week and then "if we need a subpoena, we'll do it".
Refereeing renegade Mike Dean loves being the centre of attention and, luckily for him, he was on Wednesday night.
That said, Romero is certainly on form right now...
Eager to start afresh, Bailly soon found himself in an advanced position and after ghosting past Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens, he bludgeoned a shot straight at Fraser Forster.
Southampton did not trouble Romero again until the brink of half-time, the former Sampdoria man fielding a powerful drive from Nathan Redmond.
Shortly after the break James Ward-Prowse laid off a free-kick on the edge of the area to Dusan Tadic, from where the midfielder struck well but saw Romero parry clear.
United could have opened the scoring against the run of play just after the hour mark, only for Juan Mata to shoot over following more fine hold-up play from Rooney.
Rashford has become a regular fixture in the first team at Old Trafford after initially breaking onto the scene under Louis van Gaal last season.
