Hull acting captain George Boateng claims too much has been made of Manchester United's likely line-up for the sides' crunch Barclays Premier League encounter.
With the title already secure, United are expected to field an under-strength side at the KC Stadium in preparation for the Champions League final.
But the 33-year-old Dutchman said: "Sir Alex (Ferguson) has rotated his whole squad over the season and they have won most of the games.
"But I watched the FA Cup semi-final against Everton at Wembley when some of his stars didn't travel, and nobody seemed to complain when Manchester lost.
"The only people who did were the Manchester United fans who wanted to win the FA Cup.
"Why didn't it happen then? That was the same. (Danny) Welbeck was up front and I saw Cristiano (Ronaldo) shopping in the high street. No-one said anything then so I don't understand the fuss about it now."

WELL SAID BOATENG...PPL GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAT MOAN OUT OF PURE JEALOUSY ON HERE.
The only people making anything out of this is the media. It would be very refreshing if the newspapers/media reporters could go back to reporting the news - and not making the news. And this is not just in sport, they are constantly hyping everything to the limit, and they don't seem to be too bothered as to whether its true or not.
