Manchester United crowned FA Cup champions after victory over Manchester City
Bruno Fernandes lifts the trophy as Red Devils triumph at Wembley
Ilkay Gundogan scores twice for City but United hold on to secure historic win
Manchester United have lifted the FA Cup for the 13th time after beating rivals Manchester City 2-1 in a thrilling final at Wembley Stadium. Bruno Fernandes was the hero for United, scoring the winning goal in the 83rd minute to secure the victory. It was a sweet moment for the Portuguese midfielder, who has been in impressive form for United since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020.
Manchester City had taken the lead in the 21st minute through Ilkay Gundogan, but United equalised just minutes later through Marcus Rashford. The game was evenly poised for much of the second half, but United eventually found a way to break through in the closing stages. Fernandes' goal sparked wild celebrations among the United players and fans, as they celebrated their first major trophy since winning the Europa League in 2017.
The victory was a major boost for United manager Erik ten Hag, who has overseen a significant improvement in the team's performances since taking charge in the summer of 2022. It is also a timely success for the club, who have been struggling for consistency in recent years. The FA Cup triumph will give United renewed belief that they can compete for major trophies again.
