YOU wait over 150 years for a Manchester derby in the FA Cup final, then two come along at once.
The 2023 FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United, won 2-1 by City thanks to an Ilkay Gundogan brace, was the first-ever meeting between the two historic clubs at this stage of the tournament.
