Man United have won the FA Cup after beating derby rivals Man City 2-1 in the final at Wembley, as goals from academy graduates Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho ensured the iconic trophy would be heading back to the red half of Manchester.
Match Report
MANCHESTER UNITED'S teenagers fired them to a truly shocking FA Cup final victory.
Alejandro Garnacho capitalised on a defensive mix-up by Manchester City pair Josko Gvardiol and Stefan Ortega to tap into an empty Wembley net on the half-hour mark.
Then nine minutes later, Kobbie Mainoo made it 2-0 in style.
Garnacho made headway down the right, playing inside to captain Bruno Fernandes who produced a sublime, first-time, no-look pass to put it on a plate for the young academy graduate.
At the other end, Andre Onana made a handful of smart stops to keep United in front - including a fine diving effort to deny Kyle Walker.
And the Red Devils breathed a huge sigh of relief as Erling Haaland crashed a shot off the crossbar before Julian Alvaraz slid one wide.
City continued to push for a foothold but the Red Devils wall continued to stand firm.
That was until the 87th minute when Onana messed up.
Jeremy Doku cut inside and let fly with a speculative low strike.
But what looked a comfortable save for the Cameroonian goalkeeper was anything but as he blundered his attempt and allowed the ball to creep into the bottom corner of the net and haul the Premier League champions back into the game.
Seven minutes on the fourth official's board did nothing to help the United nerves.
But after what would have seemed like an eternity for the red half of Wembley, Andy Madley blew the full-time whistle.

United fully deserve this. I think Erik ten Hag set up this team absolutely perfect today and City just didn't have the answers like they normally do and on this occasion Man United's intensity, organisation and concentration was too much. When they had the ball they created chances. Their two goals were outstanding and I'm so happy for Erik ten Hag, him and the players deserved this victory. 💪👏

Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak came to an end in a final game. Rodri’s unbeaten streak came to an end in a final game. Tchouameni is also unbeaten but won’t play the finals.😁

Man utd in their worst season: .Beaten away and eliminated from the Carabao by Newcastle .Beat Chelsea at home then suffered heartbreaking comeback at Stamford Bridge... Were ahead of Chelsea most of the season, and Chelsea's late form ensured Chelsea fnished above Utd, at 6th... THEN... Came and beat Newcastle at home, and Chelsea moved above them all. Utd at 8th had no chance of European football unless they beat City in FA CUP FINAL. Chelsea and Newcastle laugh at UNITED.. THEN.. FA CUP FINAL is here.. Chelsea and Newcastle supporting City... Boom Man utd win the FA CUP to send Chelsea to Conference league and dumb Newcastle out of European football...

As an Arsenal fan...I was fully supporting man united coz English team have got to buckle up and start challenging city....mcity would have gone trophyless this season..if not for tottenship who decided to give them free 3point at Tottenham stadium...On serious not if Tottenham needed to win that match to qualify for UCL, de would get d job done by winning that game... instead de lost just for Arsenal not to win d league....
