The German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan scored twice for City in the first half, while United's only goal was a penalty scored by Bruno Fernandes.
Gundogan's first goal was a volley from outside the box, while his second was a shot from a tight angle.
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was criticized for not stopping Gundogan's second goal.
Jamie Carragher, a former Manchester United player and now a football pundit, believes that the club's priority in the transfer window should be fixing their goalkeeper position rather than signing a new striker.
He tweeted, "David de Gea is a big problem for Man United! Is fixing that position more important than them signing a striker?" Erik ten Hag, the Manchester United manager, spoke after the match and said that the victory was special for the team.
He praised Ilkay Gundogan's performance and said that the midfielder's second goal was a great strike.
When asked about his own future, ten Hag said that he is not concerned about days like this to feel appreciated at the club, as he has been there for seven years and nothing is decided yet.
Ian Wright, a former Arsenal player and now a football pundit, also commented on the match and said that ten Hag made a selection mistake by playing a long ball for Erling Haaland in the kick-off, which allowed Manchester City to win the ball back quickly.
Wright praised Manchester City's performance and said that they were worthy winners.
Overall, Manchester City's victory in the FA Cup final showed that they are a strong team, while Manchester United's goalkeeper position remains a concern for the club.
