Big congratulations to Manchester United because nobody believed they could win this game not even their fans too. Everyone thought Manchester City will humiliate them once again and claim victory to become the FA cup champions but United pulled off a stunt and take Manchester City by surprise. Good work for being able to defend their goals.
Had it been Arsenal didn’t lose to Aston Villa and lose points that would’ve seen them go ahead of Manchester City they could’ve won the league and Manchester City could have ended the season without winning any trophy. Arsenal was the one that ended up without winning a trophy this season so does it mean that Manchester United had a better season than Arsenal? To me i think they do because Arsenal have nothing to show for it.
Congratulations to Manchester United for defying all odds to defeat their city rivals Manchester City and win the English FA Cup trophy. Before the game kicked off, many people had already written off Manchester United because of their poor form this season but that didn't stop Erik ten Hag's men from going beating the best English Premier League club at the moment.
The game was without doubt a defining moment for Manchester United's season who had initially failed qualify for any European competition next season after finishing in the season in the 8th position of the English Premier League table but needed to win the game to qualify for the UEFA Europa League competition. Manchester United proved beyond any reasonable doubt that they're equal to the task even when most people never believed in them and it's actually a good feeling to see the club fans have something to brag about again
The FA Cup trophy can at least be entertainment for Man United fans after a season full of disappointment, at least this trophy can be a guarantee for Ten Hag future which is being speculated about. Apart from that, Man United has received too much criticism this season due to experiencing significant ups and downs in performance. Their success in beating Man City in the FA Cup Final is of course a source of pride. Basically, Man United's victory was a surprise, because it was clear that in that match Man City was the favorite, the reason is of course that Man City consistency this season is much better.
If I'm not mistaken, Man United has the right to get a ticket to the Europa League by successfully winning the FA Cup, even though in terms of the points table in the Premier League they finished in 8th position. If Man United fails, then Chelsea will get a ticket to the Europa League That, and Pochettino squad next season will only have the right to go to the Confederation League. It is possible that Man United officials will forgive Ten Hag for the results they have achieved, and give Ten Hag the opportunity to remain manager next season.
