Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag refuses to accept their underdog tag for the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Ten Hag says they cannot go into the game feeling like it's a 'free hit'.

He said, "When I was here one year ago I said we wanted to win trophies. We have won one so we want to go for the highest.

"It is a long way and is going to be a project. It is not over one year. We talk two or three years. But when there's an opportunity to win a trophy, for every player it's massive.

"I have to count but there are not so many players in our squad who have won the FA Cup. An FA Cup is huge. For everyone in the world there is one Champions League, there is one so many titles, but when the FA Cup is all over the world, it's global wide, a huge reputation. I know from the Netherlands how big the FA Cup is.

"So we have an opportunity to win it. We are also realistic that it's not going to be easy. But I can assure you one thing we will give everything that's in our power to get the cup."
