Manchester United has beaten neighbors Manchester City to lift the FA Cup at Wembley Stadium, finishing the season with a medal.
It’s now the club’s 13th FA Cup title, and they are now one behind Arsenal, who holds the record for the most won (14) of the oldest cup in England.
Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo’s brilliant strikes in the 30th and 39th minutes were enough to edge out the toothless Manchester City, who seemed not to have recovered from their title celebration hangover. In the 87th minute, Jeremy Doku pulled one back for City as the game dragged to 2-1.
Manchester United has earned themselves a Europa League spot for the 2024-25 season alongside Tottenham Hotspur. Chelsea’s chances have been truncated following Manchester City’s defeat. This victory also confirmed that the Premier League curtain-raiser, the Community Shield, will be another Manchester Derby.
Although multiple reports have revealed that Ten Hag will be sacked today regardless of today’s results, his successors have been identified as Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, Kieran McKenna, and Thomas Frank.
Since the Dutch manager joined the club in 2022, Manchester United has squandered around 450 million euros without achieving the expected success, falling short of the club’s standards.
