    Regardless of today's result, it's been a good season for United. We've won a cup, qualified for the Champions League and got the right manager in charge. New ownership and a few good signings and we'll be back up there. Well done City.

    Nick, Warrington

    Wow! Another trophy for city. Really didn’t feel like they dominated that match though. Fantastic/lucky early goal but united gave them a proper run. I think Inter will think this is a game they can take to city!

    FT: Man City 2-1 Man Utd

    Manchester United

    Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, speaking to BBC One: "Everyone is down and it's really difficult. We wanted to end the season in a different way but it wasn't possible.

    "We've made big steps for next season, it wasn't a successful season overall but it was a good one. We have come back next season and try to win bigger trophies."

    On conceding early: "We came back into the game, we started badly but came back into it and had good spells on the ball in the first half.

    "After we scored, we had some good counters but didn't score. We conceded early in the second half and then still had other chances but we didn't and City deserved the win.

    "We were too soft and gave up too much space for the first goal but it's an amazing strike. If players are tighter then maybe they can stop it but it's an amazing strike.

    "He's [Gundogan] an amazing player and one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

    "Our fans have been great all season and they deserved a different result today. We're disappointed that we couldn't give fans the joy they deserve.

    "We are grateful for everything they have done this season. I promise we will come and try again next season."

    If you're a United player you know you have been outclassed and it is a pretty honourable thing to do to go congratulate the City side, so fair play to Bruno Fernandes for that.

    City are an ubelieveable team. It was special to watch today, even if they were hurting my team Manchester United.

    They made it so difficult for Manchester United to get going, every time United got on the ball they had two or three players pressing to win it back.

    Haaland coming in has enhanced this team, he has made this team much stronger. Mahrez didn't get a game, Foden came on, even Alvarez didn't play and this team has strength and depth. They have that belief. This is a side that we will look back at as one of the greatest ever teams.

    The debate will be which is the best Treble winning team?

    City will be happy this ended in regulation time. Fresher legs and minds for the big one in a week. So much at stake next week for this cohort.

    Matt R: Not many games where you see City hanging on like that. That's the positive for United today, along with a general upwards trajectory. Big summer ahead.

    Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish, speaking to BBC One: "Unbelievable. It's stuff you dream of when you're a little kid. I was desperate to win one at Villa and now I've done it.

    "I don't even think it's a penalty. I wasn't even looking at it, I turned and it hit my arm but Gundogan saved me.

    "The best thing about this team is we have a mix of everything. Everyone is confident, we've got older more experienced lads and the younger lads are learning too.

    "We'll have a good night tonight and then straight back at it on Sunday and Monday for a big game next week."

    Will you celebrate tonight? "Course I am. I don't win an FA Cup every week so I'm going to enjoy it. Straight back to training and recovery tomorrow. I love this club, the players and the staff."

    It's incredible. Credit to Manchester United for coming out and making it a test but this City team is exceptional.

    The way City can adapt and change is magnificent. To come back in the league, catch Arsenal and now win this game, it means they can look ahead to the Champions League and a potential treble.
