David de Gea will start in goal for Manchester United in Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea, Jose Mourinho says.
De Gea played in the semi-final win over Tottenham but Sergio Romero had previously featured throughout United's cup run.
"Yeah, De Gea plays," Mourinho told reporters on Friday. "He [Romero] was injured for a long, long time - around two-and-something months.
"He didn't play some matches that normally would be his matches, the semi-final against Tottenham, a couple more matches before the final. He trained only one week before the Watford match, and a little bit more before.
"And that's the reason. It's not about trust, it's not about my confidence in him, because you could have felt [trust and confidence] last season when the Europa League final was a much, more important match than this one.
"Because the Europa League was giving us the possibility to play Champions League and that is the first objective of any top-six club - to finish [in the] top four - and because we didn't, it was to win the Europa League.
"And I played the Europa League final with Sergio, so it's not about confident or no confidence, it's about the process of the last couple of months since he had an important injury against Spain."
