Fortune smiles on Haaland, the worst news for Manchester United ahead of FA Cup final

Manchester City are just a few days away from starting their journey to the treble of the season. However, as their first obstacle, there is Manchester United in an FA Cup final that promises to be highly remarkable and can give many surprises to all fans.

For this match, both teams are confident of what they can achieve after having an important close in the Premier League, where Manchester United secured a place in the next UEFA Champions League. In the case of City, the team was crowned in the English league and is looking to repeat with the FA Cup, prior to its real destination which is the final of the UEFA Champions League against Inter Milan.

Pep Guardiola has been clear about what he expects from each of his players for these duels. In fact, he even gave rest to some elements so that they would arrive in the best possible way to the matches. On the other hand, Manchester United seemed to be in the best possible shape, but they received terrible news just a few days before the match.

Erling Haaland will be playing in his first FA Cup final and wants to be a protagonist in a competition that has really cost the Citizen team in recent years. In fact, Pep Guardiola has only been able to win it once. However, for the Red Devils there is a big problem ahead of the duel and it could cost them dearly in this match to be played at Wembley.

What was the news for Manchester United?

The team's medical staff confirms that striker Anthony Martial will not be able to play the match due to his injury and with this, the Old Trafford team will only have one striker available to face this match. Unlike City and Guardiola, who have the luxury of having Haaland and Julan Alvarez on the bench.
