Ray Wilkins
The late Ray Wilkins, so fondly thought of by fans of both Chelsea and Manchester United, will be honoured at Saturday’s Final.
Wilkins was a winner of the competition as a United player, scoring a memorable goal in the 1983 Final, and also as an assistant manager of Chelsea in 2000, 2009 and 2010.
His wife Jackie will present the trophy from the Royal Box to the winners at full-time.
“Very emotional moment for Mrs Wilkins, all the family and his sons,” Mourinho said.
“I believe Ray will be looking at it and enjoying it. I know how much he was loved at Chelsea and I know how much he was loved at Manchester United.
“It’s a coincidence that the two clubs are playing the final but it will be a moment that unites the stadium and a beautiful moment.”
Mourinho revealed that Anthony Martial is fit to play but he was unsure whether Romelu Lukaku would have recovered from the ankle injury sustained in United’s victory over Arsenal last month.
