Manchester City, who is currently in the race for a treble, has been in excellent form this season. They thrashed Burnley 6-0 and continued momentum in the semifinal against Sheffield United with a 3-0 win as they secured their first final in four years.
Riyad Mahrez scored a brilliant hat-trick against Sheffield, the first in an FA Cup semifinal since Manchester United’s Alex Dawson in 1958 against Fulham. Pep Guardiola’s side will have the chance to play two finals in a space of 10 days, should they beat Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinal.
Manchester United, on the other hand, has already won silverware in manager Erik ten Hag’s first season, winning the Carabao Cup after a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United. They had a more difficult path to the final, with Brighton and Hove Albion forcing the match into extra-time. However, Solly March’s penalty miss saw Ten Hag’s side make their way to Wembley.
