Manchester City and Manchester United prepare for the FA Cup final under vastly different circumstances. City's success contrasts with United's struggles under Erik ten Hag, whose job is in jeopardy. The final could impact both clubs' futures significantly, making it a must-watch event.

As Manchester City and Manchester United gear up for Saturday’s FA Cup final, their preparations couldn't be more contrasting. Pep Guardiola's City is riding high on an unprecedented wave of success in English football, while Erik ten Hag's United is enduring one of its most turbulent periods in recent history.

Despite reaching the final, United has faced a dismal league season, finishing with a negative goal difference and enduring 14 defeats. This has placed Ten Hag’s future in doubt, especially with new minority owners INEOS considering changes.

Meanwhile, City is eyeing history by potentially securing back-to-back league and cup doubles. As speculation mounts around Ten Hag’s job security, the manager remains focused, emphasizing his goal to win trophies.

With this final being seen as a crucial test, the outcome could significantly impact both clubs' trajectories and Ten Hag's tenure. As fans and analysts weigh in, the spotlight is firmly on Wembley for what promises to be a defining match.
