Manchester United secured a historic FA Cup victory against Manchester City with teenagers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scoring the decisive goals in a thrilling final at Wembley Stadium.
Garnacho opened the scoring in the first half after capitalizing on an error by City's defense, while Mainoo doubled United's lead with a cool finish assisted by Bruno Fernandes.
City, who had already clinched the Premier League title for a record-breaking fourth consecutive season, pressed hard in the second half but were unable to find an equalizer. Erling Haaland came closest with a header that hit the crossbar.
The victory marked United's 13th FA Cup triumph and provided some consolation for fans after their team finished eighth in the league, their lowest position since 1989-90.
Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane returned to United's defense, offering crucial experience and leadership as Ten Hag claimed a second cup success in as many seasons. It was Varane's final appearance for the club before he leaves at the end of his contract.
Manchester City had hoped to become the first team to win successive domestic doubles but were hindered by sloppy errors and United's defensive discipline in the first half.
Garnacho and Mainoo will be hailed as United's heroes, but Ten Hag's tactical approach and the return of Martinez and Varane were also key factors in their victory.
