I might be going soft in my oul age but wasn't too annoyed by that...seeing Pep's bitter baldy head helped mind!

Great performance today. Brilliant result. Every player put a shift in and City looked ordinary. Bad season but finished with a good trophy.  Inited win means chelsea are conference and Newcastle aren't in Europe at all.

Some win for United was a mile out on my prediction thinking City would win by a bit to spare. Yes I believe that's the case so bad day for Newcastle especially missing out on European football altogether next season

Honestly didn't think  United would get near city. But fair play, it was a very good  performance.

Ten Hag today probably showed more passion and  spoke more honestly  than I've  seen in 2 years. 

Sacking him now would  be like shooting Bambi's mother , but as  quite a few panelists said today, where were those  kind of performances all season? One cup final performance can't disguise the  absolute shambles that this season  has been

Wenger was  expected to go in 2017 , but a good fA cup win  won him another year or two , and it really went pear shaped  in those couple of years. He should have walked after the 2017 cup win. Maybe ETH  would be better doing the same , bow out  with a great performance and  trophy , rather than it inevitably  go  absolute tits-up in the coming months.

Today showed the old FA Cup still has some charm. Workmanlike performance and deserved win against a City team that was unbeaten in 35 games before today.

Two trophies in two seasons Ten Hag has won for United and before he arrived United hadn't won a trophy since 2017. In his own words "When I took over, it was a mess at United. The team is developing and winning trophies now" This cup win was better than the league cup success last season as both Liverpool and Man City were beaten against the odds.

Lots of pundits and journalists have chosen to ignore the long injury list United have had this season which included patched up back fours with midfielders filling in,  that was the prime reason for such a poor league season and should be taken into account by Jim Ratcliffe and co then they do their end of season review and after it if their decision is to part ways with Ten Hag and replace him with some of the names mentioned in the media it will add another chapter to the decade of incompetence.

The team isn't developing though. Terrible on a consistent basis and still no style of play after 2 seasons. United have had injuries but he has spent more than enough to have cover but most of his signings have been bad.

Most of the consistent terrible stuff has been seen this season due to a lot of disruption going on without a settled starting 11 and forced to play 15 different centre back pairings and no natural left back,  it's more survival mode than be able to have a consistent style of play in that situation.  Yesterday especially 1st half and in the majority of the Old Trafford games last season I believe is the style of play Ten Hag wants which is a compact,organised defensively and good on the transition and his signings has played their part in finishing 3rd in the table last season and winning two trophies.

Surely being organised defensively should be a given with any team. Yesterday's first half was just similar to what Mourinho or any other coach would do against a superior team.

His signings haven't been great either. Malaria, Martinez, Antony, Casemiro, Eriksen, Amrabat, Mount and Onana have all not delivered.

Great result and a fantastic performance from United yesterday.

There are problems beyond Ten Hag though and the fact the United team can produce that level of performance and Sancho can drive Dortmund to a CL final highlights this.

It is clear Ten Hag has lost most of the dressing room but a Wembley cup final is an occasion players can forget this. For that reason United are likely to restructure everything at the club and start with a new manager.

Ten Hag did his best, but the club was a mess.

Martinez has been an excellent signing after a ropey start just poor injury record.Casemiro was good first season but age has caught up with him.

If that was the case it would have been 3 or 4-0 defeat than sticking to the managers game plan to beat Man City.

I think Ten Hags main job was to make progress in the premier league and in Europe. He failed abysmally at that task, getting knocked out of Europe completely at the first hurdle and dropping to a poor 8th in the premier league. Does the fa cup win make up for that. I don't think so. He was lucky to face an off form City in the final.

The only question to be answered is who replaces him.
