The Football Association has confirmed that the match ball for Saturday's all-Manchester FA Cup final at Wembley will be walked out by former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and City legend Mike Summerbee.
Barry Posner was present at Manchester City's record attendance, and used to drive players to and from training in the 1940s and 1950s. He trained alongside the likes of Bert Trautmann, and his father was a club doctor on the bench at Maine Road even earlier in the 20th century.
As Manchester City's designated cup goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega has impressed in patches so far this season, but has also shown the difficulties of coming into a game having not played regularly in the build-up. He was tasked with providing the same build-up responsibilities as Ederson on Saturday, with Burnley seemingly taking advantage of his selection by pressing him at every opportunity.
Despite securing an impressive victory at home to Newcastle United at the weekend, Manchester City know that it will mean very little if they don't follow it up with a good showing away at Crystal Palace.
