Man City vs Manchester United LIVE: FA Cup final result and final score after Ilkay Gundogan double

6 mins: An incredibly difficult task for Manchester United has been made even harded by that Ilkay Gundogan goal. It was the fastest ever goal in the FA Cup final at just 13 seconds on the clock.

3 mins: Man City have started brilliantly. They win a free kick over on the right wing where Kevin De Bruyne swings in a lovely cross.

Rodri bursts into space and wins the header but guides it into the side-netting. David De Gea was rooted to the stop once again.

12 secs: Incredible scenes! Stefan Ortega boots the ball long and Erling Haaland nods it across the pitch. The ball bounces up over Kevin De Bruyne and Victor Lindelof attempts to clear it from the edge of the box.

The ball drops to Ilkay Gundogan who takes a chance and volleys a rocket past David De Gea!

Kick off: Erling Haaland has 52 goals this season for Manchester City but has only scored once in his last six appearances. How will that form play into today’s game?

Ilkay Gundogan kicks off the final and sends the ball back to Stefan Ortega.

Mike Summerbee and Sir Alex Ferguson bring out the FA Cup and place it on the pedestal at the side of the ground.

This is the first ever Manchester derby in the FA Cup final. Ilkay Gundogan and Bruno Fernandes lead out their respective teams as the noise levels inside Wembley reach a new height.

Pre-match thoughts from Marcus Rashford who said: “I wasn’t happy, when you have been at United for so long you’re not going to be happy with seventh place.

“The style of play [before Erik ten Hag] wasn’t like I was used to watching or playing at United.

“I was fighting with myself about it, when really its not my choice on how we play it’s on me getting the job done. Going into the game I am not going to be thinking about losing, just winning.”

Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan speaking on BBC One: “We’ve had amazing experiences here at Wembley.

“Everything is set. It’s going to be an amazing final, especially that it’s a derby, it means so much for our fans and for us. We want to perform well, do what we’ve done all season and then the chance of winning is quite high.

“We are just focusing on the next game. It’s United and it’s one of the biggest finals in recent years in this competition. Today it’s just about this game and then we think about the next one.”

“Sometimes quality is not enough,” said Raphael Varane. Manchester United can testify to that. They have spent much of the last decade pursuing quality. Yet arguably it was not big names they needed but big characters. Varane, a World Cup winner with four medals from successful Champions League campaigns, had the profile and the pedigree. But as he seeks to end his second season at Old Trafford with the sheen of a second trophy, it may be because of personality as much as talent.

“You need the motivation, character, passion on the pitch, because in the top level in the Premier League, there are good players in any team,” the Frenchman said. “But to play in this kind of club you need something else… something different, that character to fight, to assume the responsibility, to never hide on the pitch, be ready to face every challenge you can.”

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, speaking to BBC One: “It is a big game. We want to win the game, it doesn’t matter who is the opponent. We know the derby means a lot for the fans and us too.

“We have prepared for the game in the normal way knowing this is a final and the result has to be on your side.

“We want to bring the trophy back to Old Trafford. We want to give our fans joy and end the season in the best way possible.”
