Can Manchester United claim FA Cup glory?

Manchester United are the most successful English club of all time. Their comprehensive history includes: 12 Premier League titles, 11 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, and 3 UEFA Champions League Cups.
They are also the club to attain the most FA Cups in English football history by winning the prestigious title a total of 11 times.
The last time Man United won the FA Cup was back in the 2003/04 season where they beat Millwall 3-0 in the final with goals from: Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo in the 44th minute, and Dutch national Ruud van Nistelrooy scoring in the 65th minute, and the 81st minute respectively. Anyone placing an FA Cup bet will remember the match.
Manchester United’s biggest rivals Manchester City, often regarded as the ‘noisy neighbours’ are sure to cause big problems for the Red Devils. In recent times City have overtaken United in terms of ability and will look to become a legendary club like their Premier League counterparts Man United.
The last final that Manchester United managed to reach was in the 2006/07 season, where United lost in the final to Chelsea at a score of 1-0 with a goal from Ivory Coast international Didier Drogba in the 116th minute in extra time.
That particular result must have severely disappointed Sir Alex Ferguson, Man United’s legendary manager.
The Red Devils’ last outing in the FA Cup ended miserably as they were knocked out by Man City in a 1-0 defeat at Wembley Stadium. The goal scorer that sent United packing was no other than the powerful Ivory Coast international Yaya Toure.
However, United will be gunning for revenge this season and it would be no surprise to see them going all the way.
