Date confirmed for next Manchester derby after Man United beat Man City in FA Cup final

Manchester United and Manchester City will renew their rivalry as soon as August 10 following the former's 2-1 win in Saturday's FA Cup final at Wembley.

United raced into a two-goal lead by half-time after goals from youngsters Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo. Garnacho opened the scoring with 30 minutes on the clock, pouncing on a City defensive blunder, before Mainoo added a second nine minutes later.

City cranked up the pressure after the interval and did pull a goal back in the closing stages through Jeremy Doku. The substitute's effort from outside the box was not dealt with by Andre Onana at his near post.
