FA Cup final 2023/24: Team news

City are expected to be without Ederson due to the injury he suffered against Tottenham earlier this month, but Stefan Ortega is the ‘cup’ goalkeeper, so he would have started anyway.

And everyone else is fit.

The same cannot be said for United, who are looking to be without Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire.

Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane are both expected to be fit and could reform their partnership in the heart of defence.

Mason Mount faces a late fitness test and Anthony Martial has been injured for the whole second half of the campaign.

FA Cup final 2023/24: What has been said?

Former United defender Rio Ferdinand believes that Ten Hag will be sacked no matter what happens in the FA Cup final.

Speaking on his podcast, Vibe with FIVE, he said: “The more and more I think about it, win or lose, I don’t think Ten Hag will be there come next season.

“I’m not saying that’s what I want, I’m just saying what I believe is going to happen, and I believe that the club are going to look elsewhere I think.

“I don’t think (winning the FA Cup) changes anything in the eyes of INEOS. I’ve not spoken to anyone there, this is just an assumption, this is what I think.”
