Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke believes his old club will need everything to go in their favour to even have a small chance of beating Man City in the FA Cup Final.
The two Manchester rivals meet in the season's showpiece for the second year in a row, however, Pep Guardiola's side go into the game as heavy favourites.
Talking to Crypto Casino, Yorke believes United need a fully fit side and a bit of luck to prevent City from completing the league and cup double.
“Manchester City have just won the Premier League convincingly, in a fashion that only champions are able to do,” he said.
“After coming off the back of a treble last season, they’ll want to create more history by defending the FA Cup this weekend, so they’re definitely the strong favourites going into this game.
“Manchester United need to be at their best from a tactical point of view and a lot will depend on the formation Erik ten Hag plays, as well as the personnel available.
"If they have a fully-fit team, then they’ll have half a chance against them considering it’s a one-off game, but they’re going to need a lot of luck going in their favour to get a result.”
Yorke also warned Erik ten Hag's side about the danger of Erling Haaland and hopes that his former side doesn't suffer another embarrassment.
Adding: “You think of Erling Haaland missing all the chances that he has, yet City are still able to conjure up other players to score their goals,”
“If he is playing well and taking his chances, then United are in desperate trouble! They need everything to go in their way to have any chance of lifting the trophy – they need to play an unbelievable game with a lot going in their favour and take all the opportunities that come their way.
“The odds will be stacked against them and it could be quite an embarrassing scoreline, but alternatively they could pick City’s pockets and sneak a result.”
