Manchester City talisman Erling Haaland has revealed his team will not change their tactical approach against Manchester United in next weekend's FA Cup final.
The Wembley showcase will be the first time City and United have met each other in an FA Cup final. In the wider context of the Blues' season, it will be even bigger as Pep Guardiola's men aim to match the Reds' historic treble-winning side in June.
While cup finals have often been cagey affairs with both teams hoping to avoid being blown away in the early stages, Haaland has insisted his team will stick to their principles on Saturday. Speaking to William Hill at the Football Writers’ Association Awards, the Norwegian said: "Winning the treble would be amazing.

"But of course, we still have two more finals. We have to focus on one final at a time. Now our only focus is on the FA Cup final, and we hope it will turn out well for us. I’m really looking forward to it and I have confidence in our team.
"Hopefully they will be two great matches. It should be a good game against Manchester United, and we have to play our own football and try to do what we’re best at, keeping the ball and creating chances, playing nice offensive football.
"That’s what we have to try and do, and then in the end we’ll see if it turns out well for us or not. We will only find out once the game starts."
Should City be victorious at Wembley next weekend they will travel to Istanbul the week after knowing a win would secure the treble. Lying in their way are Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
