Manchester United have won the 2024 FA Cup with a stunning 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday.
Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo both scored in the first-half to put Erik ten Hag’s team firmly in control.
In the second half, Jeremy Doku scored late-on to give City a chance but they were unable to pull level as the Red Devils held on.
Now the final is done and dusted, Metro.co.uk has run the rule over how each player performed…
Andre Onana – 7

Impressive distribution early-on, with one particular great forward ball for Marcus Rashford. Got away with one when his pass out from the back found Phil Foden, only for it to bounce off his leg for a Manchester United throw-in. Two brilliant second-half saves to deny Kyle Walker. Another top save to stop Julian Alvarez. Really should have done better for Jeremy Doku’s second-half goal, though.
Diogo Dalot – 8

Excellent in the first-half. Burst forward in the second-half with an attacking chance but his shot went wide.
Lisandro Martinez – 7

Almost gave away a penalty with about a minute on the clock, which wasn’t given to leave Pep Guardiola in disbelief. Impressed as the game grew.
Raphael Varane – 8
One of his first-half clearances was cheered nearly as loud as the two goals. Very strong in the opening 45. Exceptional leader of the backline across the match.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 7
The same as his defensive teammates. Solid. Probably could’ve released Alejandro Garnacho quicker a few times, though.
Sofyan Amrabat – 7
Helped to control the midfield. Stepped up even more in the second half. Manchester United fans will be left wondering where this version of Sofyan Amrabat has been.
Kobbie Mainoo – 7
Superb goal in the first half to double Manchester United’s lead, but then picked up a needless yellow card on the verge of half-time. Grabbled down Erling Haaland inside the box in the second-half, but avoided giving away a penalty.
Marcus Rashford – 9
A constant menace in the first-half and caused Kyle Walker all kinds of problems. Put the ball in the back of the net but ruled out for his teammate being offside. Played a key role in United’s second goal with a cross-field pass to Alejandro Garnacho. Subbed off after 74 minutes.
Alejandro Garnacho – 8
Scored the first goal and involved in the second, too, cutting a ball back into the area. A fine performance all-round.
Scott McTominay – 7
Solid in midfield and ran his socks off. Picked up a late yellow card.
Bruno Fernandes – 7
Moment of genius to register the assist for Kobbie Mainoo’s first-half goal. Impressed in midfield.
Stefan Ortega – 4
Should have done better for Alejandro Garnacho’s opening goal. Well-beaten for the second, too. He won’t want to remember this game in a hurry.
Kyle Walker – 6
Struggled to deal with Marcus Rashford on a number of occasions. Unleashed some dangerous shots at Andre Onana but was denied each time.
More Trending
John Stones – 6
Didn’t perform well in central defence. Made no effort to mark Kobbie Mainoo for United’s second goal.
Nathan Ake – 5
Nothing of note in the first-half and subbed off at the break. A performance to forget for the Dutchman.
Josko Gvardiol – 5
Like Stefan Ortega, he could have done more to prevent Alejandro Garnacho’s opening goal.
Rodri – 6
Struggled to deal with United’s attacking players but impressed with his passing.
Mateo Kovacic – 5
Could’ve given away a penalty for a challenge on Bruno Fernandes but got away with it. Hauled off at half-time.
Bernardo Silva – 6
Didn’t have enough of an impact on the game at all. Kept quiet by Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot.
Kevin De Bruyne – 5
A solitary shot, only 19 successful passes and no chances created before he was subbed off in the 56th minute.
Phil Foden – 7
Didn’t have the impact you’d expect. Smashed a second-half free-kick straight into the wall, which pretty much summed up his game up to that point. Managed to grab the assist for Jeremy Doku late-on, though.
Erling Haaland – 6
Hit the crossbar in the second-half with Andre Onana beaten. Not much of note other than that.
Jeremy Doku – 8
Came on at half-time and almost set up a goal early-on, with a delightful ball for Phil Foden in a packed box. Scored in the 87th minute to get Manchester City back in the game.
Julian Alvarez – 4
Came on in the 57th minute. Wasted a big chance in the 64th minute to leave Pep Guardiola with his head in his hands. Booked in the 98th minute.
Jonny Evans – N/A
Came on in the 73rd minute. Not enough time to make an impact.
Rasmus Hojlund – N/A
Came on in the 74th minute. Not enough time to make an impact.
