  • Manchester United fans hilariously expressed concerns ahead of their FA Cup final against Manchester City
  • This is after Manchester City destroyed Real Madrid 4-0 in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg
  • The two Manchester sides will face off on June 2 as Ten Hag looks for his second piece of silverware this season

Manchester United fans have started expressing concerns for their team ahead of the FA Cup final slated for June 2.

The Red Devils will come up against their neighbours, Manchester City in the final, but fans are not too optimistic of coming away with the trophy in the oldest football competition in England.

Manchester City once again proved why they are the best side in the world today with a comprehensive performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final second leg as they saw off Los Blancos 4-0 (5-1 on aggregate).

The tie on Wednesday was over in the first half thanks to Man City’s electric performance as Bernardo Silva scored from close range before adding a second with a looping header, eight minutes to half time.

Manuel Akanji’s header was deflected into the net for 3-0, while substitute Julian Alvarez wrapped up the win after capitalizing from Phil Foden’s pass, as reported by the BBC.

The emphatic win kept City’s hopes for a treble alive as they prepare to take on Inter Milan in the final on June 10 in Istanbul.

Are Man City unstoppable?

Long before the tie against Real Madrid had come to a close, Manchester United fans had already taken to social media to express dismay ahead of the FA Cup final.

City are well on course to winning the treble, as they can wrap up the Premier League this weekend by beating Chelsea on Sunday.

They will surely be favourites against Inter in the Champions League final, while in the FA Cup, they come up against an unpredictable Manchester United side who have a far inferior squad, all factors considered.

Here are some reactions from fans after City destroyed Real Madrid:

@UteEra_ said:

 "The thought of seeing De Gea in goal against City in the FA Cup final really worries me."

@speeds_c added:

"City are going to bring Julian Alvarez, Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez off the bench in the FA Cup Final and we’re going to counter it with Weghorst, Elanga and McTominay."

While @254icon joked:

"This is the same Manchester City that Manchester United is going up against in the FA Cup finals?"

@lanrrre declared:

"Imagine we're 2 nil down to City in the 1st half of the FA cup final, and then the camera looks to the bench and you see Wout Weghorst."

Ancelotti on Real Madrid future

Sports Brief also reported on Carlo Ancelotti’s take on his future at Real Madrid following their disappointing Champions League exit.

The Italian hopes to remain as Los Blancos boss beyond this season, despite a dismal campaign both domestically and in European cups.

When asked about his future, Ancelotti was similarly upbeat and fully anticipates being at the helm for Real Madrid in the next season.
