At Wembley, Man Utd were without Anthony Martial and Anotny due to injury. Instead, Ten Hag used four midfielders including Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, Fred, Casemiro and two attackers Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho. Sancho played poorly, only touching the ball 31 times, not finishing, dribbling successfully or making any decisive passes. The 23-year-old player was given 4.5 points by the British newspaper Sportmail - the lowest score of the match. Rashford's most memorable mark was a shot from the edge of the penalty area that went over the bar in the 69th minute.

Man Utd improved after Garnacho replaced Christian Eriksen in the 62nd minute. In less than half an hour, the Argentine striker touched the ball 18 times with a 100% passing accuracy rate, successfully dribbled once and made two crosses. He also broke through once and curled his signature right-footed shot just wide of the post in the 72nd minute.

"Man City played well, but I think Man Utd should have done more," Wright commented on ITV Football . "They improved significantly after Garnacho came on, and in my opinion he should have started. Garnacho showed his ability to carry the ball and create some breakthrough situations. Otherwise, Man City completely controlled the game."

Man City 2-1 Man Utd

Man City had 60% possession and scored two goals in each half. They even opened the scoring after 12 seconds, when Ilkay Gundogan volleyed into the top corner from outside the box. After Bruno Fernandes equalized with a penalty kick, Man City took the lead again in the second half. Receiving a corner kick from Kevin De Bruyne outside the box, Gundogan volleyed with his left foot, hitting the ground, leaving goalkeeper David de Gea unable to save even though he touched the ball with his hand.

According to former midfielder Roy Keane, Man Utd's second goal was undeserved, as it came from a set-piece situation where Fred fouled De Bruyne. "Fred kept De Bruyne in the position he wanted, with his back to goal. But then he fouled him," Keane commented. "That was the height of stupidity. But we've seen that from Fred many times over the years."

Meanwhile, former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel believes Man Utd still had a good season with third place in the Premier League and the League Cup title. According to Schmeichel, the Old Trafford team has a "very bright" future with coach Erik ten Hag.
