JAKARTA - Manchester United will face Manchester City in the 2022/2023 FA Cup final, Saturday, June 3. This match will be held at 21.00 WIB.

Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag said his team was determined to win the match.

"We want to win. We want to win trophies. And it's not about stopping them. It's about us winning, we winning trophies. We have a great chance," Ten Hag told a news conference.

The FA Cup final will be Ten Hag's second final match since coaching Manchester United this season. If they win, Ten Hag will get his second trophy in his debut season to coach the Reds Devils after presenting his first trophy, the League Cup or Carabao Cup.

At that time, Ten Hag's side beat Newcastle United, which Eddie Howe raised in the final with a score of 2-0.

"It's great that we deserved the opportunity to be in the final to meet Man City, it was a great opportunity and we fought hard for it. I think we developed well so we were in the FA Cup final," said Ten Hag, as reported by Manchester United's official website via Antara, Saturday, June 3.

The 53-year-old manager was very excited to face his second final while coaching the Red Devils. He also played a lot of finals when he investigated his former Ajax Amsterdam team.

However, according to him, playing in the top party at Wembley Stadium will feel very different.

"I was very (excited) and I played many trophy finals in the Netherlands as a player and as a coach, and it's always been a fantastic experience. And in the Netherlands we have trophies and there is a special place there," said the Dutchman.

"But Wembley, I think it's probably the best stadium in the world and was there during the trophy final, it was a lot of fun," he continued.

Meanwhile, in the match later Ten Hag could not field all of his players because four of them, namely Anthony Martial, Leandro Martinez, Marcel Sabitzer, and Donny van de Beek suffered injuries.

In addition to the four players, the coach who was born on February 2, 1979 is also threatened with not being able to lower his agile winger Antony Dos Santos, who has not recovered from injury against Chelsea on May 26.
