Saturday will be a historic moment for Manchester as Pep Guardiola’s City face Erik ten Hag’s United in the FA Cup Final.
For the first time in the history of English football’s most renowned cup competition, the two Manchester sides will meet in the Wembley showpiece - and both clubs will have their own reasons for wanting to rack up a big win against their cross-city rivals.
Whilst United can complete a domestic cup double, City can take a step closer towards matching the United side of 1999 by securing the treble. With the Premier League already in the bag, Pep’s men know a win over the Red Devils on Saturday and a Champions League Final triumph against internazionale would see them become only the second side to secure a treble.
Their attempts will be backed by some familiar faces, with City supported by some very well known faces from the world of music, film and comedy. ManchesterWorld looks at some celebrities that will be showing their support for City in a historic moment this weekend.
