Manchester United defied a mediocre season with a stunning 2-1 victory over rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final, securing the trophy for the 13th time.
Teenagers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo stole the show at Wembley, scoring before halftime to put United in control.
City, chasing a historic double, were subdued in the first half and gifted United the opening goal on a defensive error. Garnacho capitalized with a tap-in on the 30th minute.
United doubled their lead before the break with a well-executed team move finished coolly by Mainoo. City emerged a different team in the second half, with Erling Haaland nearly pulling one back with a shot that rattled the crossbar.
Substitute Jeremy Doku finally put City on the board in the 87th minute, sparking a tense finale. However, United held on for a dramatic victory, securing Europa League qualification in the process.
