Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-1 to win its 13th FA Cup title and continued to cut Arsenal’s lead (14 titles) in becoming the most successful team in the tournament.
The Reds will now enter the Europa League next season, as a reward for winning English football’s most famous knockout competition for the first time since 2016.
First-half goals from two United Academy graduates, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo, in the 30th and 39th minutes respectively put the Reds in control of the showpiece occasion.
Although City substitute Jeremy Doku pulled one back for the Premier League champions in the 87th minute, Erik ten Hag’s men defended valiantly through the remainder of the game to see out a triumph that some pundits had thought unlikely in the build-up.
Following is the list of FA Cup titles won by Manchester United.
