In a thrilling FA Cup final, Manchester United defied expectations and secured a 2-1 victory over Manchester City, ending their 11-year trophy drought and silencing critics of manager Erik ten Hag.

Just hours before the match, Ten Hag had publicly criticized the fans' unrealistic expectations, citing the club's ongoing rebuilding process.

However, his team's performance on the pitch spoke volumes, with teenage talents Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scoring the decisive goals in the first half.

This victory not only secures a trophy for Manchester United but also guarantees their participation in European football next season.

The win is a testament to Ten Hag's tactical acumen and the team's resilience, proving that they are capable of competing at the highest level.

While questions about Ten Hag's future at the club may linger, this FA Cup triumph undoubtedly strengthens his position and provides a much-needed boost of confidence for the team and its supporters.

The Red Devils have proven that they are still a force to be reckoned with, and with Ten Hag at the helm, the future looks bright for Manchester United.
