Man United overpowers rivals Man City to win FA Cup

Soccer

Manchester United put on a sensational display to win the FA Cup with a 2-1 final victory over Manchester City on Saturday.

United enjoyed a dream first half, in which they scored twice — first when Alejandro Garnacho capitalised on a mix-up between Stefan Ortega and Joško Gvardiol and fired into an empty net, and again when Kobbie Mainoo put the finishing touch to a superb team move. Meanwhile, André Onana was forced into just a single save.

City fought back in the second half and ensured a nervy ending when Onana’s weak save on 87 minutes could not keep out Jérémy Doku’s shot at his near post. However, United held on and sealed a memorable victory.

This year’s FA Cup title is the second trophy of Erik ten Hag’s two-year tenure in charge at United, but it comes amid intense speculation over his future, with potential replacements already sounded out by the club.
