Manchester City and Manchester United will meet for the first time in an FA Cup final to decide which one of the two archrivals makes club history, while also preventing the other from doing so.

Manchester United are looking to become only the fifth English club in history to do the domestic cup double after winning the League Cup in February (also known as the Carabao Cup after its sponsor).
