In a quest to carve their names into Manchester United’s illustrious history, the current squad is fueled by the opportunity to achieve an extraordinary feat. While the Red Devils have previously claimed the Emirates FA Cup 12 times and the Carabao Cup six times, they have never managed to secure both trophies in a single campaign.
Targeting a Unique Achievement
With the Carabao Cup already in their grasp after a resounding 2-0 win over Newcastle United at Wembley in February, Manchester United, under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag, now sets their sights on the highly anticipated FA Cup final.
Focus on Personal Success
Despite the treble aspirations of their rivals, Manchester City, Scott McTominay emphasizes that the team’s primary focus lies within their own accomplishments, rather than solely on thwarting their adversaries.
Motivated by History
Asked about the extra drive that comes with the potential domestic-cup double, McTominay responds emphatically, “Absolutely.” He explains that they also sought motivation from tying the record for the most home wins in a season during their game against Fulham [27]. Becoming part of the club’s history is an immense honor and responsibility, and as players, they strive to leave their mark and surpass previous milestones.

Electric Atmosphere Anticipated
Despite train strikes affecting travel arrangements, an electric atmosphere is expected at Wembley on Saturday, with the stadium equally divided between passionate Red and Blue supporters. McTominay’s family, who are ardent United fans, will be among the tens of thousands present, standing alongside loyal supporters who have faithfully followed the team throughout the arduous season.
Bond with Fans
McTominay, who has been with the club since childhood, shares a deep connection with the fans. He is determined to repay their unwavering faith and support by delivering a memorable performance at Wembley. Recognizing the fans’ unwavering dedication, McTominay states, “I’ve felt this bond since I was a kid attending games. Through good and bad times, that bond with the squad has always been there. Now, with our recent successes in cup finals, top-four contention, and Champions League qualification, it’s incredible. Rain or shine, the fans have been there for us from the first minute until the last. Without a doubt, they are the best fans in the world.”
As Manchester United embarks on this historic journey, the team is determined to seize the opportunity and secure an extraordinary domestic-cup double. With the unwavering support of their devoted fans and an unrelenting desire to etch their names in the club’s chronicles, McTominay and his teammates are ready to create their own enduring legacy at Manchester United.
