Mainoo and fellow teenager Alejandro Garnacho were on target at Wembley to deny Pep Guardiola's side the double after they secured their record-breaking fourth successive Premꦐier League title last weekend.

Although Erik ten Hag's job was reportedly on the line - re🌳gardless of the result - United defended brilliantღly to largely keep City at bay, despite Jeremy Doku's late strike for the Citizens.

The Red Devils subsequen💎tly held out to end a disappointing season on a high, securing a place in the Europa League next term with their first FA Cup triumph since 2016.

And Mainoo, who was named in 🔴Gareth Southgate'🍨s provisional England squad for the forthcoming European Championship, saluted the efforts of United's players and staff.

"[It means] absolutely everything," he told BBC Sport. "It's been a tough season of ups and downs. All the fans had ༒to look forward to was this final. Last year, I was ൩in the stands watching. I couldn't be involved.

"We knew we had to💦 come together. The staff and the players, the preparation has been amazi🅺ng. We showed that we can compete, we can come together and win on such a big stage."

Garnac💫ho also paid tribute to his team-mate, who became the first English teenager to score in an FA Cup final since Steve MacKenzie for City against Tottenham in 1981, while dedicating the victory to United's supporters.

"Just incredi𓆏ble; I say he's the best player in the squad, and he's the youngest. I'm so happy for him," the Arge🥃ntine said of Mainoo.

"[It is an] incredible feeling. Nobody believed in us, but we are together, here with these fans. An incredible moment for us, also fo✱r me and Kobbie to score the goals, but all together, we fought like it was the last day of our lives. We're so happy.

"The fans were incredible. They're al🅺ways there – home games, away games, now Wembley. We won for the fans."
