The FA Cup final is almost upon us, with Premier League champions Manchester City going up against biggest rivals Manchester United on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. City have been dominant in this rivalry over recent years, but the Red Devils have plenty - even beyond bragging rights - riding on this particular cup final.
United must win to secure European football, while Erik ten Hag may also be fighting for his job. As the final draws closer, we have put together a combined City and United starting XI. It’s no secret that this team should be almost completely dominated by City players given the season they have had, but in the name of fairness, we have included United players where there are fair arguments to be made. Check out the combined team below.
