FA Cup Final: Best Manchester United reaction

-

 Let's explore the best reaction from the red side of Manchester as United lost the FA Cup Final.

The reds were left frustrated as they couldn't stop City edging closer to a Treble with victory in the FA Cup Final at Wembley.

You can listen to the thoughts of the United manager in the video below. Erik Reacts To FA Cup Final Defeat 🗣 | Man City 2-1 Man Utd - YouTube

What are the fans saying?

Liam, a Manchester United Season Ticket holder, told us: "I thought we just lacked a little bit of quality in the final third. That was the difference. Overall,  it’s been a good season. We have to start looking forward as fans."

Phil spoke about the goals United conceded. He added: "They were annoying goals to concede and were so soft and avoidable. We probably need to strengthen our defence so we have more options if Martinez or Varane get injured."

Sophie added: "This team has shown resilience, character and personality throughout the season. We know there's a long way to go, but this will make us better going forward. It was a test for us, we didn't succeed, but we can take a lot of positives into next season."

Ryan Connelly tried to offer some tactical insight: "What City do for large sections of the game is keep the ball. It helps their energy level for most of the game and lessens the oppositions. We either have to get players who can do the same, or if we want to be quicker in transition make sure we have players who are accurate passer and don't lose the ball unnecessarily."

Peter Jacobs believes Garnacho should have started the match: "I thought he should have started yesterday. I know people make the impact sub-argument, but when Rashford is through the middle anyway it's a no-brainer for me. You don't have to play an 18-year-old every week, but it's a cup final, and he was easily the best available option."

On the Red Cafe United forum, Bristol_Red_87 posted this: "We lined up similarly to that of the side that faced City at OT, and it was almost as effective. We stifled Rodri and KBD. We probably showed them even more respect that day, but our shape made us incredibly difficult to play against. In the summer sun on a huge Wembley pitch, City found more gaps, but that was to be expected."

On the same forum, Marwood said: "City weren't great yesterday. We didn't need to be brilliant to beat them."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
