Manchester United have appeared in more FA Cup finals than any other team, winning 13 in total between 1909 and 2024. The current holders kept alive their hopes of drawing level with record winners Arsenal (14 wins) by dramatically knocking out the Gunners in the third round.
Their 5-3 win on penalties gave United a first FA Cup win under Ruben Amorim at the first attempt. In the fourth round this weekend they face Leicester City, who won the Cup for the first time in 2021.
Leicester’s manager is Ruud van Nistelrooy, who won the FA Cup with the Red Devils as a player in 2004. He scored twice in the final against Millwall and ended the campaign with a share of the golden boot.
The Foxes beat Chelsea in the 2021 final courtesy of a Youri Tielemans goal and a VAR decision to disallow an equalising goal at the death.
