MANCHESTER UNITED WINS THE EMIRATE FA CUP

1 min read

Manchester United overturned Manchester City 2-1 to reign victorious in the FA Cup final.

Two first-half goals, which came just nine minutes apart, from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo were enough to edge past the previous holders of the cup and have Unitedโ€™s name etched on the trophy for the first time since 2016.

Amidst the elation of the United faithful, itโ€™s worth noting that todayโ€™s triumph also books the side into next termโ€™s Europa League group stages, ensuring European football will be played at Old Trafford in 2024/2025.

Mainoo was, unsurprisingly, named Player of the Match, but numerous players were in contention, as all did their bit to make sure they made it over the line.

United had a dream start at Wembley on Saturday afternoon, scoring twice in the first half and limiting City to barely a sniff.

With Garnacho and Mainoo scoring, they joined Cristiano Ronaldo (2004) and Norman Whiteside (1983), as the third and fourth teenagers to score in the final for United.
