Manchester United duo Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo have emulated a Red Devils legend by scoring in the first half of the FA Cup final against Manchester City. United lifted the trophy with a 2-1 victory, marking a historic moment as both Garnacho and Mainoo, aged 19, became the first teenagers to score in an FA Cup final in 20 years.

The last teenager to achieve this feat was Cristiano Ronaldo in 2004, when he scored in United’s 3-0 win over Millwall. Fans were thrilled by the remarkable parallel, with many hopeful for the future of these rising stars. One fan exclaimed on social media, “This is so nuts!” while another added, “The future is scary, but not for Manchester United.”

Garnacho capitalized on a mistake by Man City’s Josko Gvardiol and Stefan Ortega, while Mainoo skillfully placed his shot into the bottom corner after a brilliant setup by Bruno Fernandes. Despite being underdogs, United held their lead to secure the FA Cup, surviving a late goal from Jeremy Doku.

What a mix-up between Gvardiol and Ortega! 😬
