LONDON (Reuters) - Losing the FA Cup final to rivals Manchester City was not the season finale Manchester United had dreamed of, and manager Erik ten Hag said his team was broken after their 2-1 defeat on Saturday.

The first ever FA Cup final between the two Manchester teams ended with the trophy heading to the blue side of the city.United captured the Carabao Cup in late-February and at one point were flirting with the Premier League lead, leading to talks of a potential domestic treble in a fantastic debut season for Ten Hag."We had a fantastic season," Ten Hag said."More than we could have imagined at the start.

Instead, Saturday's result means that City are now one win away from emulating United's 1999 feat that was achieved under Alex Ferguson's watch. "But we fought ourselves the game," the Dutch manager said."There was a great spirit. We were really hard to beat and I think also in the end we could have made the equaliser."

"We wanted to end the season in a different way, it wasn't possible but we are aware that we have made the right steps for the future this season," Fernandes said.
