Erik ten Hag has made the astonishing claim Manchester United were better than City in last season's FA Cup final.
City triumphed 2-1 at Wembley, where Ilkay Gundogan scored the fastest-ever FA Cup final goal after 13 seconds and struck again in the 51st minute. Bruno Fernandes equalised with a 33rd-minute penalty after United survived a gruelling start to the match.
United recorded two more attempts at goal than City, who had five shots on target to United's three - two of which were five seconds apart in added time. City outpassed United by 517 to 342 passes and had 60% of possession.

"If we get it, then we will get an opportunity even
