FA Cup set for huge changes that would impact Man City and Manchester United

The FA Cup could be set for a huge shakeup, with replays and the showpiece weekend final set to be axed.

Massive changes could be on the horizon for the 152-year-old competition, impacting clubs at all levels of English football, as the Premier League presents an offer to the Football Association (FA) to sell overseas TV rights for the FA Cup for a decade starting from the 2024-25 season.

The FA Cup faces concerns over its significance, prompting the potential for significant alterations. Replays have already been eliminated from the fifth round onward, but under the new deal, the FA Cup would have to abandon them entirely, as reported by the Daily Mail (via the Mirror).
