Although the city of Manchester has experienced a chaotic week after train strikes made travel tricky for concert goers at Elton John, Coldplay and Arctic Monkeys gigs respectively, the fun does not stop for Mancunians as the Manchester Derby…sorry, the FA Cup Final takes place this afternoon.

The Red Devils kick off against Man City at 3pm in a sold-out Wembley, some 200 miles away from their home grounds up north.

Whilst your regular John’s and Jane’s will fill up some of the 90,000 seats in the stadium, football fans can expect to see some fairly famous faces cheering on either the blues or the reds on 3 June, as previous years showed an A-List attendance.

The Gallagher brothers Noel and Liam may be there cheering on the 2023 Premier League Champions to win their second title of the year, as they have appeared at previous FA Cup Finals.

In fact, Noel said to BBC Sport in the week leading up to the match that could set City up with a good chance of winning the treble (Guardiola’s team appear in the Champions League final next week) that: “You hear United fans now going "ours is the better Treble…David Beckham was texting me saying that the other night, and I was like "no, ours will be better".

Manchester United are the only team to have won all three major titles with their record being set in 1999.

As mentioned, former Manchester United star David Beckham could be seen in Wembley this afternoon as well as other Red Devil fans Tom Grennan and Stormzy.

One United fan who would make a great appearance would be Elon Musk. After all, he has been jetting across the world for parties, political meetings and sports events so who is to say he would rule out the FA Cup Final?

It must also be noted that the newest face of Welsh football and a familiar face in Hollywood, Mr Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, could be in a VIP box to cheer on the reds and blues.

How can I watch the FA Cup Final?

Although Wembley Arena is sold out for the 2023 FA Cup Final, fans are still able to tune in to see the two Manchester teams go head to head as well as try to catch a glimpse of any A-List attendees.

You can watch the 3pm (BST) live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, ITV and ITVX.
