Pep Guardiola hails Erik ten Hag as an 'extraordinary manager and a lovely person' amid reports the Man United boss 'will be sacked'... but the Man City manager insists the Red Devils were NOT the better side at Wembley

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has hailed Erik ten Hag following Manchester United's 2-1 victory over his side in the FA Cup final.

The Premier League champions came into this match as overwhelming favourites, having clinched their fourth consecutive league title last weekend. Despite that, United shocked Pep Guardiola's side in the first half, with Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scoring to give the Red Devils a 2-0 lead.

Jeremy Doku would pull a goal back late on, but it was not enough to salvage a win, with Ten Hag going on to clinch his second piece of silverware as Man United boss, having taken over in July 2022.
