Alejandro Garnacho (30′) and Kobbie Mainoo (39′) were on the scoresheet for United. Jeremy Doku (87′) scored City’ss only goal. Ten Hag was under a lot of pressure heading into the contest. His Manchester United future is uncertain. The Dutchman has now given a bold statement, saying (via Fabrizio Romano on X):

“Two trophies in two seasons and three finals… not bad. If they don’t want me anymore, I’ll go somewhere else and win trophies. That’s what I do.”

“United fans would like a manager who stays for more than 2 years. Fans are sick of this cycle [hiring & firing]. Ten Hag’s stock is not on the floor. LOTS of people are backing him. I’ve backed him, and I’m glad I did.”
