Man United entered the final at Wembley as big underdogs compared to Man City, who won their fourth consecutive Premier League title last weekend.

But they went 2-0 up at half-time, as academy graduates Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo both scored for Erik ten Hag’s side.

In the 30th minute, Garnacho scored after taking advantage of a careless combination between the defender and goalkeeper on Man City’s side. In the 39th minute, Mainoo scored after a great coordination by MU players.

With the opening goal, Garnacho became the first teenager to score in an FA Cup final since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2004. CR7 scored in the 4-0 win over Millwall in the 2004 final, and That record stood for an astonishing 20 years.

Garnacho and Mainoo played in the 2022 FA Youth Cup final and just made history in the 2024 FA Cup final.

And after Mainoo scored, Man United created a unique piece of FA Cup final history. Accordingly, the Red Devils are the first team to have two teenage players score in an FA Cup final.

In addition, Mainoo (19 years and 36 days) is also the youngest scorer since West Ham’s John Sissons in 1964. At that time, Sissons was only 18 years and 215 days old.

Another special thing is that in 2022, both Garnacho and Mainoo will start for MU in the FA Youth Cup final. That year, MU’s U18 team won 3-1 against Nottingham Forest’s U18.

According to statistics, Mainoo has scored 5 goals in 32 matches in all competitions this season for Man United’s first team. Meanwhile, Garnacho’s numbers are 10 goals and 5 assists after 50 matches.
