Leandro Bacuna hopes Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood can keep hold of their best players.

Bacuna says these are exciting times for his FA Cup finalists and claims it is vital they hang on to their best players.

"I'm not going to say we will keep the team together," said the Dutch defender. "But it is doing really well at the moment, playing with a lot of confidence.

"If we could keep the side together and maybe get a few other players, who knows what is going to happen?"
