Manchester United, under manager Erik ten Hag, achieved a surprising FA Cup final victory over favorites Manchester City at Wembley.
Despite speculation that ten Hag might be sacked by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe regardless of the outcome, United delivered their best performance of the season.
Goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo in the first half gave United a strong lead. City applied pressure in the second half, with Erling Haaland hitting the post and Andre Onana making crucial saves.
Although Jeremy Doku scored late for City, United secured a 2-1 win, their first FA Cup triumph since 2016.
