Manchester United's Luke Shaw is relishing the opportunity to play Manchester City in the FA Cup final at the end of the season.

United have already won the Carabao Cup this term, but Erik ten Hag now has the chance to win his second piece of silverware in just his debut season at Old Trafford after leading his side to the final of England's oldest cup competition.

The Reds needed penalties to defeat Brighton in the semi-final at Wembley on Sunday afternoon, with Victor Lindelof converting from the spot to ensure a Manchester derby in the FA Cup final for the first time.

Shaw is looking forward to the contest and he admitted playing City in the final will add an extra dimension to the game. "They [Manchester derbies] are always very special games to play in, but for there to be a trophy to win at the end of it is obviously a massive incentive for us and what we want to achieve this season," Shaw told MUTV. "They [fans at Wembley] were unbelievable, they were amazing and they helped us a lot.
