Paul Merson shared his thoughts on the upcoming FA Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United. City, who could win their fourth consecutive Premier League title, will face their rivals in the final after last year’s victory over United. Merson believes that United, who are unlikely to qualify for European competition next season, have no chance against City in the final due to the latter’s superior form and squad strength.
City reached this year’s final by defeating Chelsea in the semi-final, while United narrowly beat Coventry City on penalties after a dramatic 3-3 draw. Merson pointed out the stark differences between the two teams, with City being far ahead of United in the league standings and having a much stronger goal difference. His prediction is based on the expectation that City will dominate the final and potentially embarrass United once again, as they did in last year’s final.
Merson expressed his skepticism about United’s chances in the FA Cup final, especially considering their struggles to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League. Despite the possibility of some key players returning from injury, Merson believes that City’s superior quality and form will make them clear favorites to win the final. He anticipates a one-sided affair at Wembley, with City likely to come out on top.
