Manchester United win FA Cup with victory over rivals City

Manchester United put on a stunning display to clinch their 13th FA Cup defeating rivals Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley.

Manager Erik ten Hag pulled off an upset to win United another trophy during his tenure, as speculation grew about his future at the club. 

The Red Devils went two-nil up with goals through Alejadro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo to give United an unlikely victory over Manchester City, who were crowned Premier League champions just a week ago.

United put on an organised performance and looked in control for much of the 90 minutes, despite a late scare when substitute Jeremy Doku gave City hope, sneaking a shot past Andre Onana with only a few minutes to play. 

The win means United quality for the Europa League next season, which they would've otherwise missed out on having finished 8th in the Premier League this season.
