What happens if United lose the FA Cup final and finish sixth in the Premier League?

In that scenario, United would enter the Europa League at the third qualifying round stage and effectively take the place vacated by the Capital One Cup winners, Manchester City, because they qualified for the Champions League. West Ham would miss out on Europe as a consequence.

How would that affect United?

The first leg ties of the Europa League third qualifying round are due to be played on July 28 with the second legs on August 4. United involvement would throw their planned pre-season tour of China into jeopardy given that they are due to play games against Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City on July 22 and July 25 respectively.

Wayne Rooney’s testimonial against Everton, provisionally slated for August 3 but with no formal date set, would also be affected.

Does it matter to Bournemouth where they finish?

Yes. Victory would move Eddie Howe’s team up from sixteenth position to fourteenth and earn the club an extra £2.5 million in prize money in the process.

What if I had a ticket for the original fixture?

Here's a statement from Manchester United on the ticketing situation following Sunday's debacle ...

Ticket refunds will be given - and entry to the rescheduled match on Tuesday will be free - following the abandonment of Manchester United's home match against Bournemouth on Sunday.

Season ticket holders (for their equivalent match ticket price), match ticket purchasers and match-day VIP purchasers will receive a refund.

Any supporters who would have accessed the stadium with their season card or membership card on Sunday will be able to do so again, and supporters with paper tickets can use them again too, all free of charge.

Replacement paper tickets can be issued and can be reprinted at ticketing & membership services on Monday or Tuesday. Fans who come to the stadium to do this on Tuesday are advised to arrive early please to avoid queues.

What's the team news?

Adnan Januzaj will miss Manchester United's season finale against Bournemouth with a hamstring injury.

The Belgium international is joined on the sidelines by Matteo Darmian (ankle), while Ashley Young is making his way back to full fitness.

Marouane Fellaini continues to miss out through suspension, while Bastian Schweinsteiger (knee) and Luke Shaw (leg) are still sidelined.
