The Red Devils are one of the most successful English sides in history

With the goal of winning more trophies under Erik ten Hag in the Dutchman's inaugural season in responsibility, Manchester United intends to go to its first FA Cup final since 2018.

Prior to Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013, United had a stellar FA Cup record, but they have struggled ever since.

Since the legendary Scottish management left Old Trafford, the team has only won one FA Cup, with Chelsea, Arsenal, and local rivals Manchester City emerging as stronger cup contenders.

But United have already experienced Wembley triumph with Ten Hag in the 2022–23 season, with a victory over Newcastle in the EFL Cup final in February, and they will play in-form Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday in the FA Cup semifinal.

How many FA Cups have Man United bagged?

Manchester United are the second-highest accomplished team in the 151-year history of the FA Cup, behind only Arsenal (14), with an astounding 12 FA Cup victories under their belt.

Manchester United won the FA Cup for the first time since 2004 in 2016 after beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Wembley. This was thanks to Louis van Gaal's team.

Despite being considered pregame favourites, the Red Devils struggled to have an influence on the game, and Jason Puncheon's late goal placed Palace on track for an unexpected victory.

Van Gaal's charges were quickly and superbly answered by United, as Spanish sensation Juan Mata levelled the score and forced overtime.

Before leaving for Nottingham Forest in 2022, Jesse Lingard's United career had its share of ups and downs, but on that particular day at Wembley, the product of the Red Devils' junior squad was the match-winning goal.

United haven't won the FA Cup since that victory, so if they succeed this year, it will be their first championship in seven years.

In addition to their 12 trophy victories, Manchester United have also lost eight FA Cup finals, bringing their total appearances in the championship game to 20. With 21, only Arsenal has more.

When did Manchester United last play in the FA Cup final?

When United advanced to the 2018 final and faced Chelsea, they were hopeful they could duplicate their triumph from the previous year.

Eden Hazard's penalty in the first half gave Antonio Conte's squad a spirited 1-0 victory, but neither side was able to get the game going.

Jose Mourinho's United finished as runner-up in the Premier League that year.
