Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney must prove himself against Crystal Palace if he is to start the FA Cup semi-final, according to Louis van Gaal.
Rooney, 30, is set to make his second start since returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for two months earlier this year.
"It's dependable how he plays, like every player," Van Gaal said.
"You are presuming that he plays on Saturday. He played very well in the first half [against Aston Villa]. In the second half he was tiring but he has already got 60 minutes in his legs.
"He has trained on Tuesday and he has recovered so we have to see how he is feeling in the second half against Crystal Palace and still he has to play good."
