The chance is to keep it tight at the back and potentially get something on the counter. This could get us to penalties. But it's incredibly unlikely.
Shaw and Martinez back in theory would be huge, but they would have been out for months. I'd hope that they're return a few weeks before the final to get them back to match fitness.
25th May, city in the final: What could swing it in our favour? Scenarios?
Realistically they could already be 3 or 4-up going into the tunnel on half time and I’m switching the telly off. Humiliation on the biggest stage in football! (That meaning Wembley Stadium)
That’s what I’m seeing and it wont go away.
Surely it can’t happen? We’re Man Utd ffs!
What if:
What’s needed to avoid the worst scenarios?
- Shaw and Martinez are fully fit = back 4 intact!
- Rashford back on the left and decides to put a shift in.
- Garnacho down the right
- Pep plays Ortego in goal
Feel free to add to the list.
Note: comments such as "DeBruyne falls off a cliff etc" will not be accepted.
Rashford putting in a shift is accepted as serious!
At home last season in the league. Late Rashford winner.Has Erik's United ever beat City, actually? I can't remember
We certainly need Licha and Varane back and in form, but it will still take a miracle considering we don't have a midfield other than a kid called Mainoo and Bruno who loses balls left and right
Beat them at home last season. It was the one with that controversial Bruno goal where Rashford was in an offside position. Lost the other 4 games against them.Has Erik's United ever beat City, actually? I can't remember

This, nothing more needs to be saidSomeone, anyone, to come in, replace Ten Hag and have the team play at least the basics of a football system.
What we’re seeing this season is a schoolyard game of kick and chase
I dont think pashun is gonna be enough to overcome our tactical weakness and ineptness under our current manager. For his tactics to work we need 4 maldini, 4 vieira and prime messi+cr7 on top.Every single player wearing a red shirt gives his all for 90 minutes and fights for everything. If they can't manage that in an FA Cup final, they might want to reconsider their choice of careers.
Maybe we can ask the French footie federation to assist with that. They have some practice from 1998.Food poisoning
... so just the 0-2 loss then.Rodri getting a red card in the third minute after pulling down Rashford through on goal, then another red to Ruben Dias just before halftime
... so just the 0-2 loss then.
