Kobbie Mainoo, who scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final, demonstrated that he is not only a quick thinker on the field but also during Man United's celebrations after the match.

In the FA Cup finale, Manioo scored a goal during the first half at Wembley, while United was already leading 1-0. This goal resulted in their victory over Man City, making Erik ten Hag's team the champions.

The United player showed he was a hero even during the post-game festivities. As the team enjoyed their victory in the changing room at Wembley, he stood out.

Amidst unrestrained jubilation, Lisandro Martinez assembled the entire team for a photo-op with the championship cup, after which he doused the squad and coach with a traditional Champagne shower.

Instead of joining in on the playful moment, Mainoo opted to intervene by swiftly moving his teammate Amad Diallo out of the line of fire as alcohol was being sprayed.

In the video, Mainoo can be observed shifting his colleague Amad Diallo to ensure that the Champagne doesn't get in his way.

Kobbie Manioo proved to be a hero both on and off the field, contributing to Man United's victory in the FA Cup held at Wembley stadium.

During the celebrations in the dressing room after the cup final victory, Amad Diallo (on the right) had to step aside to avoid getting hit by a bottle of Champagne that was being popped open.

He decided to shift Diallo from the path of the approaching alcohol because of the young man's adherence to the Muslim religion, which has stringent regulations concerning alcohol consumption.

While the rest of the United team enjoyed the Champagne that was being given to them, Mainoo and Diallo stayed away. This was because the young English midfielder had helped his fellow teammate.

The festivities will persist in the upcoming days following United's acquisition of their thirteenth FA Cup victory and securing a spot in European football for the following season.

Mainoo scored the game-winning goal for Man United in the FA Cup Final on Saturday and then quickly celebrated by moving away from the field.

In the early stages of the game, Alejandro Garnacho provided the first goal for the Red Devils. He took advantage of a miscommunication between Stefan Ortega and Josip Gvardiol in the defence. Mainoo then scored again before the end of the first half, increasing the lead for the team.

The City team made a late effort thanks to Jeremy Doku scoring a goal, but United held on and prevented their opponents from achieving more success. As a result, United won two consecutive championships.

The victory brings a difficult situation for the minority owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Reports suggest that he had planned to fire Ten Hag this week, regardless of the Wembley outcome. Several other coaches such as Kieran McKenna, Thomas Tuchel, and Mauricio Pochettino are being considered as potential replacements for the Dutchman.
