Sports Manchester United win the FA Cup

[Catsmother]

Manchester United and beleaguered manager Erik ten Hag defied the odds and their critics to pull off a stunning FA Cup final victory over hot favourites Manchester City at Wembley.

Ten Hag went into this Manchester derby final with the growing expectation that he will be sacked by United’s new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, irrespective of the outcome.

If Ten Hag is to be dismissed, he will be going out on the back of the finest day of his two-year reign and United’s finest moment for years following a performance that was virtually unrecognisable from the dismal fare they have served up this season.

United’s triumph, which denied Premier League champions City a second successive domestic double, was built on an outstanding first-half display that brought goals from Alejadro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.

Garnacho was the beneficiary of a mix-up between City keeper Stefan Ortega and Josko Gvardiol as he was left with an open goal on the half-hour while Mainoo crowned a sweeping move with a calm finish from Bruno Fernandes’ delicate touch nine minutes later.

Strange to see them winning something again, but fair play to them, at least it wasn't City again.

Manchester United ended up sacking Ten Hag at the beginning of the season after him winning the FA cup.

A lot of people say it was a wrong decision to keep him after winning the FA cup because there was talk to sack him by the end of the season but they didn't and have him later sacked in January to go and get Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon.
