if that is true then that means it's rigged but I think you guys overthinking it, FA cup winner should be the deserving winner not just some title being given away, I think man united deserved the win and many people just underappreciate it.
these pep's statement thing is just conspiracy at best.
There is no need to think more about conspiracies because those who get the trophy have also been recognized by many parties and have also been considered legitimate by many parties, such as Manchester City who were able to win the Premier League last season. Likewise, Manchester United were able to win the FA Cup last season, which must also be considered appropriate because both teams struggled to get one of these trophies last season and both can also try again to get it again next season.
