The Germany international sprinted to the corner flag to celebrate the fastest FA Cup final goal with his team-mates, many of whom looked in disbelief.

‘There’s absolutely nothing David de Gea can do. You can’t legislate for type of finish.’

Manchester City are chasing the second leg of their historic treble bid, having overtaken Arsenal to win the Premier League and booked a place in next week’s Champions League final against Inter Milan.

Manchester United, meanwhile, are looking to secure a domestic cup double after winning the EFL Cup under Erik ten Hag earlier in the season.
