Keane tells Man Utd to 'cut the c**p' and 'put in a performance' in FA Cup final

Roy Keane has insisted Manchester United must 'put on a performance' in the FA Cup final despite the Red Devils heading into the match as clear underdogs against rivals Man City.

Wembley will host a Manchester derby for the second successive season in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

Man City will head into the match on a high after clinching a record fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola's side were last beaten in 90 minutes by Aston Villa back in December, although they were knocked out of the Champions League on penalties by Real Madrid.

Man United head into the match after recording their lowest Premier League finish, with Erik ten Hag's side ending eighth in the table despite winning their final two matches.

Former Man United captain Keane admitted Man City are favourites to win the final, but expressed hope his former side could produce a performance on the day.

'You [Gary Neville] are saying that you’ll be watching the FA Cup Final behind the sofa,' said Keane on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet.

'That’s a sad state of affairs, if you feel you can’t watch Manchester United in a cup final – there’s always that hope that they will turn up and produce some sort of performance.

'I look at this Manchester City game over the past few weeks – are they favourites? Of course, but you’ve still got to believe. You have to have some belief in United and that they can turn up at Wembley and produce a performance.'

Man United have produced some dismal performances at times this season, including being thrashed 4-0 by Crystal Palace earlier this month.

Fans will be hoping Ten Hag's side can reproduce the kind of performance that saw them earn a memorable 4-3 victory after extra-time against
