A record the club has held for two decades. What United did under Sir Alex Ferguson is still a dream for English clubs.
But nothing in this world is permanent. That milestone of the Red Devils’ pride is now in jeopardy. City, who have sidelined English club football in the last few years, are now going to share in United’s achievements.
However, the Red Devils have good experience in breaking the treble dreams of their opponents. In 1977, they defeated Liverpool, who won the league and the European Cup, in this FA Cup final. In 1985, their victim was Everton. This is also the FA Cup final of Seva.
Although the start of the season was not expected, the United camp is now very organized with time. Coach Erik ten Haag wants to finish after securing a place in the Champions League after winning the Carabao Cup.

Manchester United coach Eric Ten Haag said, ‘From where we started and the way this team has improved, it’s been a good season for us. Finishing third in a competitive league like the Premier League and the FA Cup final after winning the League Cup, these are things to be satisfied with. But we have an opportunity to make the season even better.
On the other hand, City, who won the league for the third time in a row, have the biggest chance to win the treble this season. An FA Cup win only brightens the prospects for the team that crushed Real to reach the Champions League final.
However, the Citizens lost the last Manchester derby. Pep Guardiola’s men showed their true colors after that match at Old Trafford. However, in this important match, Stefan Ortega will be seen at the goal post, replacing Ederson.
