Manchester United the winner of FA Cup Trophy after a 2-1victory over Manchester City.

 

A word from Pep Guardiola ...

 “We lost the game and congratulations Man United. It was a tight game and after we conceded a goal and in the second half, after the first five or 10 minutes we had the chances and we changed our pace up front … mumble, mumble, mumble … and congratulations to Man United.”

Asked if he feels United is the better team, he shakes his head and says “No.” He goes on to explain that it was simply a case of City not taking their chances.

Ten Hag doesn't know if he is being sacked

Asked if he thinks he’s been treated unfairly by the media, Ten Hag says to Gary Lineker: “I think so, the team as well. It was not right.”

Alan Shearer interjects to say that United have rarely been as good as they were today and often deserved whatever criticism came their way. “You are right but we didn’t have the players,” comes the riposte. “It was not always good football, definitely not, but if you don’t have the players you can’t play the football you want to play.”

Is it his last game in charge of United? “I don’t know,” he says. “The only thing I am doing is training my team, preparing my team, developing my team because this is for me a project. When I came in, I can say it was a mess and we are now better but we are by far not where we want to be.”

Erik ten Hag speaks to the BBC ...

“Compliments to the team, they played very well, to our identity … very strong,” he says. “You have seen that when we have the players on board, how we can play to our philosophy. Some are not fit, especially not match fit but I think the performance was very good.”

“I tell you all year this,” he says when Gary Lineker asks how big a difference it makes having his best defenders back from injury. “I tell you this all year. When the players are fit, we can play good football and you’ve seen a very good performance against the best team in the world, I think.”
