The 2023/24 Premier League season has come to an end, but this Saturday at Wembley Stadium, the FA Cup final will be a big Manchester derby, the first time in the history of the English FA Cup that the same two teams have been competing for the title for two consecutive seasons, and Manchester City beat Manchester United 2-1 last season to complete the treble. At 22 o'clock in the evening of May 25, Beijing time, Manchester City and Manchester United once again faced off at the top of Wembley Stadium, Manchester City won, will create a miracle of successfully defending the England double, if Manchester United wins the cup, it will be the first time in 8 years to win the championship.

The English FA Cup is the oldest football competition in world football, Manchester City beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final last season, the team won the FA Cup for the seventh time in the team's history, and only finished sixth in the history of the FA Cup, ahead of Manchester City Arsenal with 14 titles, Manchester United with 12 titles, and Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool with eight titles. If Manchester City can win the FA Cup this season, they will equal Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool in the number of titles.

In this season's FA Cup, Manchester City qualified for the final with a clean record, winning 11 consecutive FA Cup games across the season, Manchester City eliminated Huddersfield, Tottenham, Luton, Chelsea and Newcastle to advance to the final, scoring 15 goals and conceding only two, including four clean sheets. Manchester United reached the quarterfinals after eliminating Wigan Athletic, Newport County and Nottingham Forest, played Liverpool in the quarter-finals, eliminated Liverpool 4-2 in extra time, and reached the final with Coventry in the semi-finals to a penalty shootout.

Compared with Manchester City, Ten Hag is under more pressure, this season Manchester United has no results under Ten Hag's rule, the Premier League is ranked 8th historically, there is no way to qualify for next season's European competition through the league, the FA Cup final is not only a battle of dignity and championships, but also the only way for Manchester United to qualify for next season's European competition, so Manchester United must win, only by defeating Manchester City, Ten Hag can qualify for next season's Europa League.

But in the last 10 meetings, Manchester United is at an absolute disadvantage against Manchester City, 7 times by Pep Guardiola's team, last season Manchester United only relied on Rashford's controversial 1,000-mile offside guard at home to complete the reversal victory over Manchester City, but in the last three games, Manchester United suffered three consecutive defeats, plus the previous defeat, Manchester City played 2-0, 6-3, 4-1, 3-0 and 3-1 scores, occupying a psychological advantage.

In the Premier League this season, Manchester City beat Manchester United home and away, with Phil Foden and Erling Haaland scoring six goals. In the Premier League this season, Manchester City scored 96 goals and conceded 34 goals, with a goal difference of 62 goals, and Haaland, Foden, Alvarez, De Bruyne, B seats, Doku and other luxury attacking teams are in good shape. Manchester United, on the other hand, have scored only 57 goals and conceded 58 goals in the Premier League, with a goal difference of -1, which is a huge gap compared to Manchester City.

Manchester City have beaten Manchester United twice this season and would beat the Reds again in the FA Cup final for the third time in a single season, the first time in 54 years since 1969/70. Pep Guardiola has won 38 trophies in his managerial career, and if he wins the FA Cup again, Guardiola will win his 39th title, an average of one title every 23 games, an achievement that is unique in world football, and Ten Hag will probably not remain in office next season if he loses the FA Cup final.
