Will they let the lad play in a FA cup Final ?
 



Might be different as a European competition but Thibaut Courtois played for Atletico Madrid against his parent club Chelsea a few years back.
Premier League rules state a loan player cannot play against a parent club but no idea about FA Cup rules.

EDIT: This suggests he could play for us...

 
(j) Temporary (loan) Transfers
(i) A player on a temporary (loan) transfer is ineligible to compete in the Challenge Cup
Competition unless permission to do so is given by the lending Club in writing and a
copy is received by The Association by 12 noon on the Friday prior to the date fixed
for playing the Round. Any permissions must clearly state that the player has
approval to play in The FA Challenge Cup Competition. A registered Trainee or a
player who is registered on a Scholarship for work experience may play for another
Club, subject to written permission being given by the Club that he is registered to
and provided that such permission is received by The Association by 12 noon on the
Friday prior to the date fixed for playing the Round. The Association will not give
permission for players on loan or work experience to play against the lending Club.
(ii) A player recalled, at any time prior to the date of the Round, to his original Club from
temporary (loan) transfer, in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, may
represent his original Club. Such player may only play in postponed and replayed
matches if he had been recalled in time for the first match in accordance with sub-
paragraph (i) above and (iii) below as applicable.
(iii) A player on temporary (loan) transfer is eligible to compete if transferred by the
lending Club to the loaning Club after the date and time for player qualification for a
round but must have been eligible to play in the original tie.
(iv) Players on season “long term loan agreements”, are not considered “loan” players for
the purposes of the Rule, and are therefore eligible to play in the Competition.
 
Hope they don’t and he resents them for it and forces a move to us....still I’d be gutted for the lad
 
They'd be stupid to deny him the experience. Won or lose, it would benefit him and then as a club.
The only issue could be a perceived conflict of interest. But even then, surely the charge of an FA Cup winners medal would outweigh any lingering loyalty to Man Utd.

Loads of Ifs anyway
 



Think they would do all they can not to let him play most likely all ready in the loan agreement. Would we have conceded 3 goals against them earlier in the season if he was playing?
 
Players on season long loans are eligible to play in cup competitions against their parent club. Unless there’s a clause in the deal they can’t stop him
 
Genuinely don’t think that loan players should face their host club in any circumstances, it’s not fair on them and could create all sorts of issues. Can you imagine what would happen if a loan keeper gave a penalty away in the last minute or let one slip through their hands - the fans may forgive them but the bookies would say it was premeditated. Less risk than a league game that would affect others but still not a good idea.
 
If this actually becomes an issue it means that not only are we in a cup final, but City will have lost in comedy fashion, so it'd be the least of my concerns

Could be the semis, where the question would also have to be asked.
 



Remember the Roger Hansbury v Peter Withe farce? Chairman Reg Brealey was furious with manager Billy McEwan after the Blades 0 Birmingham 2 match in October 1987.
