TBH, actually many fans want to see Man United get a new coach to try to find a big surprise from another coach, but if that is Man United decision, the fans can only accept that decision and just try to believe that Ten Hag can provide something best in the coming season despite having a few doubts.
however, regarding Man United winning against Man City, do you believe that it was a pure victory from Man United performance?
sorry about this, it doesn't mean I doubt Man United but logically Man City should be able to win the title but we also have to be realistic that Man United and Man City are like brothers and on the one hand MU currently finishes in 8th position and doesn't get a ticket to compete in prestigious competition, but after winning the FA Cup title, at least MU won a ticket to appear in the European League competition next season.

that doesn't mean I think Man City is just giving in to Man United, but in reality that's what happened because before the match started I had an inkling that it would be possible for Man City to give his brother the FA Cup title so he could get a European League ticket for the following season.
and it turns out what I said came true and I had time to test my hunch, betting on the most comfortable option, even though the odds weren't too big, but at least my hunch was right.

Manchester City with the EPL trophy, Liverpool with the EFL trophy, and Manchester United with the FA Cup trophy. However, there is one team that is always the talk of the town every season and failed to win a single trophy in all competitions this season. The red team from North London is certainly embarrassed to see the performance of each of these teams, especially for Manchester United, who finished in 8th position was not an obstacle for them to be able to get the trophy by beating Manchester City in the final round of the Fa Cup.

I can't stop laughing when I see this meme circulating on Twitter and it seems like this is a fact that football fans cannot deny. Arsenal is indeed good by finishing in 2nd place in the standings but that also doesn't mean anything with the hype they always create every season and in the end they only become temporary trophies for other teams.

I think, the president of Manchester united will allow Erik Ten Hag to continue the managerial service with Manchester united next season, because he has showed some improvement that he is capable to help Manchester united to win next season premier league title, because they where able to defeated Manchester city yesterday to achieved FA cup. Manchester united really displayed well from this FA final, because they where able to gain many chances to scored two goals in the first half without allowed Manchester city to score a goal from the 45 minutes they played. I know that Manchester city lose some strength during the premier league competition, which is the reason Manchester united players achieved all those opportunity to win the title from Manchester city.

Manchester United will equipped themselves next season, they have to put in their best because winning ought to be the next important thing on their minds. Watching Manchester United coming out to celebrate their big winnings, really a tough one to deal with on Pep Guardiola side and Manchester City, a total dissapointment for them. Manchester City dominated the game but ended up becoming victims of defeats after the shocking winning run from the Red Devils.

No one could have expected the developments in the FA Cup final between Man City and MU to be so unexpected and exciting. Coach Erik Ten Hag clearly showed his intention to defend tightly when he let Fernandes play behind Garnacho and Rashford. All remaining MU players focused on protecting Onana's goal. The explosive performances of the young stars helped MU defeat rival Man City in the final, thereby winning a ticket to attend the Europa League next season.

Coach Erik ten Hag smiled brightly as he celebrated with his students. He understands that this season's FA Cup could be the salvation for the shaky head coach position at Old Trafford. The fact that MU defeated Man City in the FA Cup final was a surprise. In a poor season, MU was able to defeat the Premier League champion. Understandably, they celebrated passionately.

Manchester City woke up very late in that game if not why would we be having almost all the players not as aggressive as they used to be in the EPL and if they had applied much pressure like we know they used to do, I don't think Man UTD would have gotten 2 goals ahead of them. To me I'd say Manchester City were still having that celebration of winning the EPL title 4 times in a row, it was banging in their head.
As for the defense of City it was solid, just that error from Gvardiol, aside from that I don't see the Citizens causing any other mistakes that they need to be pissed about, the major thing is that City underestimated Man UTD.
ETH is the happiest man right now and he'll for ones sleep and have a sweet dream, he can as well be seeing his team lifting the FA CUP, if they're talking about sacking him I believe it will all end as a rumor but if they sack ETH, it will be on the board because the club won't be the same.

Unbelievable outcome. I never expected Manchester City to lose by a close margin against Manchester united in this game, some serious mistakes being made by city's goal keeper and defnder. The mistake committed by Ortega has also revealed the distinction between Ortega and Ederson since ederson is much more calmly in decision making. Ederson made far less mistakes than Ortega. This is why Pep was not using Ortega as the primary goalkeeper and always try to use ederson as main goal keeper.
An error that could cost the club the trophy. Good luck to the city next time. This season marks the return of MU to the Europa League and it was also making chelsea goes to the conference league. Things were going so well for Ten Hag's team until Ortega made a huge error by going up front.

Gvardiol has failed to communicate with City's goalkeeper. It wouldn't be a goal unless Ortega was moving up. We'll see what INEOS's decision is for ten hag.
Ten Hag was supposed to be fired after failing to win the FA Cup. Things have been going really nicely for United in the late game.

It is simply not Manchester City day because they create enough pressure, opportunities and make some good shots that can help them to score at least two goals, but they only got one goal. Just one more goal and the final can be different but it's a day for Manchester United and Manchester City was lack of luck in this match. They will regret about the mistake in defense that changed the match but with remaining time, they actually have enough time to equalize it. They just don't play well enough and efficient enough in this match.

Manchester United win FA Cup but will ETH be kept as their next coach because rumor says that he will be sacked.

He need to take very last chance to secure his coach position and I disagree to say he did not mind anything about future of his coach position in Old Trafford after recent terrible results of his team.

I really don't think only one FA Cup can help Ten Hag to save his position because his coach management will be assessed through a long season, not in a single match. Generally this season is not good for him in any assessment with any criteria from Manchester United boss.

I only wonder will they try to give him one more season as last chance for Ten Hag. They can do this if they feel like they don't want to repeat similar approach with previous coaches but even he will be given one more season to show off his coach capability, it will be his last chance.

That mistake wasn't what killed the confidence of the Citizens, even before getting into this game they (Manchester City) have already lost the game, we know how sharp Pep's boys are whenever they're playing against UTD but on that encounter it was completely different, their body language was different. It was as if they weren't there and you could see how some players slip on the pitch and give wrong passes (which hardly happens) they weren't clinical at all.
I still don't know what happened to Manchester United, it seems like ETH got a new squad to play against City, to be honest this is the Manchester United we have been expecting to see all season when ever they play in the EPL even against Man City by making the game look interesting and challenging, I'd give it to them, is a big win to UTD.
Chelsea on the other hand don't need to cry over this new development because whichever competition they find themselves they should know that is worth it and it shows that you need nobody to rely on to give you what they want because they were hoping on City to win to enable them play UEL next season, who knows if it might happen that they (Chelsea) will go and become conference league champions.

Manchester United played it well and were able to limit the damage that could be done by Manchester City and ended up beating them by two goals to one. Eric Ten Hag achieved his mission in FA Cup although rumours said that he was sacked the day before!
Ten Hag doesn't seem to be bothered by these reports and he announced that he will simply move on. Building Manchester United again will require a lot of energy and efforts. He considered himself and the team in the correct path. I don't think that Manchester United recovered yet but I am not that optimistic either with most coaches to fix the issues.

A mistake from ortega and gvardiol has costed the club a lot. City was using high line defensive which was so bad. Congratulation for manchester united getting FA cup trophy combined with europa league trophy. It's sad chelsea must be leaving from europa league caused by this.
Chelsea is now playing in the conference league. Garnaho has become a savior for manchester united. Manchester city's defensive line was so weak in the final of FA cup.


United used a defensive counter attack strategy as its main strategy. The club knew that if they should not play offensively against manchester city.

Yepp, indeed.
Because Man United won the final match of FA Cup, it is confirmed that man united will go to UEFA Europa League with Tottenham. Yes, even though Man United is in 8th place, because they managed to win the FA Cup, this is one of their privileges, they entered the Europa League. And Chelsea will be in the Europa Conference League. While Newcastle, they must be out of the race.

Now, congratulations to Man United.
Many people thought you would lose, but you proved otherwise. You have done your best and made your club enter the UEFA Europa League.

Even though we know it was the opposite, cause Manchester City played better and held the ball mostly. Well, Manchester United were very good at defence and made it very difficult for Manchester City to create good chances and find the back of the net but Manchester United Utilitised their chances properly and scored two goals ahead of their neighbours and that's deserving. If you noticed, before the game commenced, City were favorites to win they were given about 1.30 odds whereas United were given 10.00 odds I was to bet on United but I couldn't follow my instincts I got carried away by other people's comments that winning the EPL would boost Manchester City's players to win double trophies this season, forgetting that a lot of United players who didn't feature for a while were back on the pitch and I think that influenced the winning cause their defense was much more better today than other days this season. Anyways congratulations to United on winning the FA for the 2023/24 season  but I hope Eric Ten Hag is given a second chance and not sacked.

After the match ended, Pep Guardiola commented by saying congratulations to Manchester United, they deserved to win the trophy because they played better than us today. The difficulties experienced by Manchester United encouraged them to play better, Ten Hag squad managed to take advantage of the best opportunity to play in the Europa League next season even though they finished in 8th place in the standings. Manchester City actually also played well, it can be seen in terms of ball possession and the number of shots they fired, but Manchester United played more effectively.

It's fair enough if you look at the trophies they won, Manchester City managed to win the Premier League trophy for the fourth time in a row, however losing the opportunity to lift the FA Cup trophy was still disappointing. Meanwhile, even though the FA Cup trophy is less prestigious, Manchester United should be proud of their success, because they have the opportunity to play in the Europa League next season. With these results, in my opinion, Ten Hag should be considered as manager of Manchester United next season, even though many parties are urging the club owner to fire this Dutch coach.

congratulations to Manchester United, they really deserve to get the FA Cup trophy this season.

The match between Man City vs Man Utd was very exciting, even throughout the 90 minutes of the match there were many opportunities that were successfully created by Man City, it's just that Man Utd looked very lucky in this match, 2 of Man Utd's goals came in the first half while 1 of Man City's goals happened in the second half, it was really exciting match.

Manchester United without doubt defeated the strongest English Premier League at the moment to lift the English FA Cup trophy earlier today but the manner at which Erik ten Hag was bragging to the media about his two trophies achievement at the club should be at reason why Manchester United management should sack him. Manchester United as we all know is one of the biggest clubs in the history of English club football and you don't expect the fans to be happy because a certain Dutch manager helped them win the league cup and the FA Cup in two seasons. Manchester United as a club is way too bigger than that and for ten Hag to consider his achievement at the club as a big one, it simply means that he doesn't know much about the value of the club.
He should be sacked to the club can improve from their current poor performances.

If I tell you that most Man U fans were optimistic that they will win, will you believe me? In my neighborhood, their fans cooked and bought enough drinks to party in celebration of the trophy as if they knew that Man U will win. Most Chelsea fans laughed at them during the preparations but seems they have been vindicated. I must congratulate Man U for winning the trophy and by this win it seems that all the sins of Ten Haag would be forgiven as the coming weeks will show.

The people that feel this to say are mostly Chelsea fans who wanted Man U not to lose to enable them retain their Europa League qualification position. It will be nearly impossible for you not to be one of those fans, but even if you were, will you not feel happy that Man City don't have to win everything? By this win, other clubs will see that Man City can actually be defeated in a serious match, that is the beauty of the game. Just celebrate with them because they have won and we cannot change it.

With the victory gotten and a qualification to the European league competition next season today no one is pouring out criticisms on Erin Ten Hag dragging him for been a bad manager who lacks proficiency and winning mentality. it's all in praises to the team now. I have to say this, that a lot of football fans are so impatient and lack objectiveness with how they analyze outcomes of teams performance without caring to ponder from whence the error is actually coming from. I can say ten hag has been a good manager for United (although I used to stand him down in some cases) but he has been able to give the club two trophies in three seasons with the club. What Manchester united needs now is redundancy of a few players who ain't carrying the team on their shoulder anymore, that's just how they can survive when they get to the Europa league next season to avoid the embarrassment received in the champions league group stage.
Congratulations to ten hag for shutting the haters.

I love the way Manchester United defenders performed today. All their threats in that match were put under locked by the defenders and that was what gave them the big win today. Foden and Haaland are both big players in the Manchester City squad that when not taken into consideration and locked down, they can score from any range and leave you by surprise, so it’s very important to keep them on watch. Manchester United played a great football today even when Manchester City’s pressure was high, they were able to contain it.


We have a Manchester United die hard fan here. Congratulations on the victory of your club. And as you said, let them take all the possessions and give you the trophy because that’s what matters the most. I also never thought Manchester United can pull up such a good performance in the early stages of the game and those opportunities they had and utilize them was what gave them the victory today. They turned to opportunities to goal and then defend those two goals till the end of the match. A very great great performance and result for them today.

Well I would agree about Manchester united deserving the trophy in a way because they actually had what looked like a good performance in the finals against Manchester city but then it still did feel to me like such that is actually the true performance from both team because Manchester city could have been able to have done much better than that which they did so I just couldn't understand how they couldn't give off that very spectacular performance of theirs.

If Manchester city had played in their true form, they would most definitely going to win that game even with two goals down because this isn't the tough Manchester united that would literally be a problem to Manchester city , so it was very much expected Manchester city would win but it's really a good one both team have got some thing they would go back home with at the end of the season as this was the only chance for Manchester united at a trophy which has actually turned out their best experience this season. Manchester united now have an opportunity to play at the Europa next season by virtue of this trophy they won today, this was a dual win for them as they weren't having hopes of qualifying for the Europa next season.

If Manchester united had lost this game they would ave ended up without a trophy and not have to be able to participate in any other league game next season except for the premier league of which it would have been the first time in a long while Manchester united get into such position as they have usually made it to the champions league or Europa almost every season a d not ending the season without getting to qualify for any of these.
