After a torrid season, United had the chance to end their campaign on a high as they took on their fierce rivals City in the FA Cup final.
In front of a packed crowd inside Wembley, Erik ten Hag’s men produced one of their finest displays of the season as goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo sealed a 2-1 victory.
Half-time substitute Jeremy Doku was the scorer for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Speaking after the match, City boss Guardiola also praised Martinez.
He said: “Lisandro Martinez is top five centre-backs in the world. He made the difference on this game by playing passes through our defence.
“I like when people underestimate players for the size. He can tell them I'm here and a good player. He's a fantastic player, aggressive, good build up.”
Guardiola added: “United paid this money, Erik [ten Hag] knows him. It's not the first time he's played against taller strikers, he handles it. [It's] important to be intelligent, brave. The crosses, Erling is taller, we see what happens.”
