FA Cup winners! Reds claim 13th triumph

FA Cup winners Reds claim 13th triumph
United add another trophy to the cabinet - and qualify for Europe - with a deserved derby win over Manchester City at Wembley.

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.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe said: "It is a glorious feeling to win the FA Cup final at Wembley. Manchester United clearly were not the favourites to win today but they played with total commitment and skill and overcame one of the great teams in football. We are all very proud of the players and the staff who work tirelessly to support them."CUP WINNERS MERCH
