Manchester United win FA Cup after Garnacho and Mainoo stun City
It was, quite simply, the finest Manchester United result since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. The bar has been lowered, the trophies drying up but this was a day for their fans to celebrate wildly – and not only because they stopped Manchester City from making yet more history.
Another Premier League and FA Cup double had been on for Pep Guardiola and his all-conquering team to follow the one from last season and the truth was that nobody gave United a prayer. Erik ten Hag’s time as the manager is up after the most traumatic of seasons; eighth in the league their lowest finish since 1989-90. And yet United refused to yield.
