Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has confirmed that second-choice goalkeeper Stefan Ortega will start the FA Cup final against Manchester United.
Ortega played all the ties as City progressed all the way to Wembley.
He will now keep his place in the starting XI against United ahead of usual No. 1 Ederson.
“He is going to play,” Guardiola said, when asked about Ortega at a news conference on Friday.
“I have always been like that in the FA Cup. At Barcelona and Bayern as well. The goalkeeper who plays in the FA Cup is going to play.”
Ederson is set to return to Guardiola’s starting XI for the Champions League final against Inter Milan in Istanbul on June 10.
