Erik ten Hag claims Manchester United were better than Man City in 2023 FA Cup final
manchestereveningnews.co.ukErik ten Hag has made the astonishing claim Manchester United were better than City in last season's FA Cup final. City triumphed 2-1 at Wembley, where Ilkay Gundogan scored the fastest-ever FA Cup final goal after 13 seconds and struck again in the 51st minute.
Bruno Fernandes equalised with a 33rd-minute penalty after United survived a gruelling start to the match. United recorded two more attempts at goal than City, who had five shots on target to United's three - two of which were five seconds apart in added time.
City outpassed United by 517 to 342 passes and had 60% of possession. David de Gea was culpable for Gundogan's winning goal in what turned out to be his final appearance for United after 12 years at the club.
De Gea has been without a club since he was released on June 30. United take on City in a second successive all-Manchester FA Cup final on Saturday and Ten Hag is adamant United were better in every area last year except possession.
