Manchester United won the FA Cup Final against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium by defeating them 2-1. Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scored for Man United in the first half, and Jeremy Doku scored for Man City in the second half, but it was enough to stop the Red Devils from lifting the FA Cup trophy. Many football fans now wonder if Pep Guardiola could soon be leaving Manchester City after this loss. Guardiola’s contract is expiring in the summer of 2025. Manchester City wants to offer Guardiola a new contract to extend past 2025, but now it is unknown if the Spanish manager will extend and stay at Man City even longer.
Manchester City finished the season with three trophies, winning the Premier League, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the UEFA Super Cup. Guardiola and the Manchester City team will have a parade to celebrate the trophies with their fans in Manchester. Guardiola was visibly upset during the game as his team went down 2-0 at halftime, and the team couldn’t convert their chances in the second half.
Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United broke records with this victory over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. The Man United win ended Rodri’s 74-game unbeaten run, ended Man City’s 35-game unbeaten run, and the Dutch manager became the first manager to beat Pep Guardiola’s Man City in a major domestic cup final.
Guardiola spoke after the game and revealed his thoughts about the result and the season he had with Man City. Guardiola was asked if he thought that Manchester United played better than his team to win the match, and the Spanish manager disagreed. Guardiola said, “We lost the game. Congratulations to United. It was a tight game. It can happen. Many things. At the end they scored two goals and we couldn’t score more. The second half we were there all the game. Manchester United are always a transition team. First half we struggled a bit but second half we were better. In general it as a good performance for a final.”
Although Guardiola will remain as the Manchester City manager next season, the Spanish manager spoke about a former player who is becoming the future Manchester City manager. Guardiola was asked about his thoughts on Vincent Kompany, who would soon become the new Bayern Munich manager. Guardiola said, “It doesn’t matter if he was relegated with Burnley. I have a high opinion about his work, as a person, his personality, knowledge of the game, how he handles the media… I’d be happy to see Kompany at Bayern.”
Guardiola then went on to talk about Kompany becoming a Manchester City manager in the future. The Man City manager said, “Vincent Kompany will become a future Man City manager, mark my words. Yeah, it will happen for sure. You will call me when this is going to happen.”
