KEOWN TALKS TACTICS: Erik ten Hag's three-card trick to trump Man City... he needs Fred and Casemiro to slam door with explosive tackles - United must pick best passers - and use trickery of Sancho and pace of Rashford

For the first time ever, Manchester United and Manchester City — two giants of English football — meet in an FA Cup final.

Since the introduction of the Premier League, these great rivals have won a combined 20 league titles in 31 years.

But, surprisingly, they have shared only seven FA Cup triumphs in that time. This year, United have finished in the top four and are chasing a domestic double, whereas City can match their neighbours’ historic treble of 1999.

It is only right and proper to have football’s oldest cup competition as the last day of a domestic season.
