Rabat – Morocco international and Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat became today the first Moroccan to have won the English FA Cup title.
Manchester United clinched the title following a thrilling 2-1 win in a highly anticipated final match against rivals Manchester City.
The Red Devils scored two goals in the 33rd and 39th minutes through Garnacho and Meino.
Doku scored a goal for City in the final minutes of the game, but a comeback was ultimately prevented as Amrabat’s teammates put on a solid display of resilience to shut down City’s attacking initiatives.
This FA Cup win comes after Amrabat had a less-than-optimal season with Man United. Amidst speculation and criticism surrounding his underwhelming performances with the English club, there have been reports that the player may return to Italian club Fiorentina.
While fans hoped to see their solid Moroccan defensive midfielder rediscover his stellar 2022 World Cup level, Amrabat has constantly struggled to make a significant impact on the field for Manchester United.

Joining the club on loan from Fiorentina in September last year, Amrabat’s transfer followed a remarkable showing at the 2022 World Cup, where his performance caught the attention of most elite football clubs.
However, the transition to the Premier League has proven challenging for the Atlas Lion, who has openly acknowledged the difficulties he has faced in Manchester and hinted at his determination to put this underwhelming episode behind him by next season.
