Danny Murphy believes that Manchester City could easily defeat Manchester United in the upcoming FA Cup final, especially considering City’s dominant performances against United in the past. The previous final between the two teams resulted in a 2-1 victory for City, and United’s recent 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace has left them in a challenging position leading up to the final. Murphy suggests that United will need to play defensively and try to catch City on the break in order to have a chance of competing with their rivals.

In their previous Premier League meetings this season, City has outperformed United both in terms of shots on goal and overall attempts. With City registering 48 attempts and 18 shots on target compared to United’s 10 attempts and 4 shots on target, it is clear why Murphy believes that a defensive approach is necessary for United to avoid a heavy defeat. If United were to go toe-to-toe with City in an open game, Murphy predicts that they would be at risk of being “annihilated” by the Blues.

Murphy’s analysis highlights the importance of United’s defensive tactics and ability to limit City’s chances in order to have any hopes of success in the FA Cup final. With City’s dominance over United in recent games, it is clear that United will need a solid defensive strategy to prevent a potential demolition by their rivals. City’s strength in attack and ability to create numerous opportunities make them a formidable opponent for United, who will need to be at their best defensively to avoid a heavy defeat in the final.
