A total wall, David de Gea talks about the final match against Man City

Goalkeeper David de Gea is confident Manchester United have what it takes to beat rival Manchester City after reaching this season's FA Cup final. United booked their place in their first FA Cup final since 2018 after a tense penalty shootout victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Wembley on Sunday afternoon. After 120 goalless minutes, United prevailed 7-6 on penalties.

After 12 successful penalties shared between the two teams, Solly March struck over the bar for Brighton, giving Victor Lindelof the chance to set up an FA Cup Final for Manchester on 3 June. second cup final of the campaign with a 100% mark from the penalty spot.

City will head into the contest as favorites to lift the trophy, by which time their hopes of a famous treble could still be alive, but De Gea believes United's 2-1 win over city rivals at Old Trafford in January it could work. There is still a long wait until the final, but I am sure it will be a great match against one of the best teams in Europe, in the world, De Gea said.

We already showed, when we played them at Old Trafford, that we can beat them. There is still a long way to go until the final, but we have to play to finish first in the top four and then reach the final. Despite being knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday night, losing the second leg of their quarter-final clash with Sevilla 3-0 in Spain, United still have a chance to end this season with two trophies and a top four finish. 

He doesn't think about his future, he thinks about the final

Although the FA Cup final is the Reds' highlight game between now and the end of the campaign, De Gea is fully focused on securing next season's Champions League qualification before turning his attention back to Wembley. Of course, it's not enough, but it's a big step up from last season. We just keep getting better and better and like I said we have some big games coming up so we have to be ready.
