FA Cup final
Pep Guardiola’s side are keen to become the first side to win the Premier League and FA Cup in consecutive seasons in English football history, and standing in their way are the Red Devils, who need success to play European football next season.
Victory for Erik ten Hag’s men guarantees Europa League football next season, and the beleaguered Red Devils hope a campaign that has seen them end eighth in the league and exit the Champions League in the group stage ends on a winning note.

Manchester United goalkeeper Onana sets unwanted Premier League record after conceding 200 shots
Andre Onana has conceded 58 goals this season in the Premier League in his debut campaign at Manchester United.
“You know, I think I would take this personally and I think this is maybe my worst season, admitted the Cameroonian.
The goalkeeper subsequently stated how injuries had hampered the club’s campaign.
“We have important players who have been injured for almost the whole season, and it's difficult for the team,” said Onana “Not only the team, for the club, for the squad, for the physios, for the supporters, because they are used to seeing all the players fit.
“And at the moment we have to deal with that difficulty because everything in life is temporary. It will pass. Most of them, they are already coming back. It's already positive for us.”
Manchester United have lost four of their last FA Cup finals, and they hope to avoid losing a fifth in six against a club on an 11-game winning run in the competition.
