Comments:

Manchester City failed in their attempt to complete a third league and FA Cup double; previously achieved by Manchester United (1993-94, 1995-96 and 1998-99) and Arsenal (1970-71, 1997-98 and 2001-02). City would have become the first team to do so in consecutive seasons. . City were aiming to win the Cup for the eighth time and for the first time ever in consecutive seasons. . They failed in their attempt to become the first team to win 12 consecutive ties in the FA Cup since Chelsea in 2011 (13). . Excluding penalty-shoot-outs, this was City's first defeat in their last 36 games in all competitions (won 28); the longest such run by a top division team since Nottingham Forest in 1978 (unbeaten in 40 games). . This was Rodri's first defeat in his last 75 appearances for City in all competitions since February 2023 (won 58, excludes penalty shoot-outs).

Comments:

Manchester United had now won the FA Cup for the 13th time; only Arsenal had now won more (14). . United had now become the first team to reach 22 FA Cup Finals (Arsenal 21). . They ended the Premier League season in 8th position; their lowest final league placing since 1989-90 in League Division One. It meant they had to win this game to qualify for a UEFA club competition in 2024-25 (UEFA Europa League). . United avoided losing a FA Cup Final in consecutive years for a second time; previously in 1957 and 1958. . The Red Devils had lost four of the last five FA Cup Finals they had contested; the exception being against Crystal Palace in 2016 when they were managed by Louis van Gaal. . Aged 19 years and 36 days, Kobbie Mainoo became the youngest player to score in a FA Cup Final for United since Norman Whiteside against Brighton and Hove Albion in 1983 (18 years and 19 days).
