Wrexham striker and Liverpool fan Paul Mullin has admitted he doesn't want Manchester City or Manchester United to win today's FA Cup final.
The two teams will face off in this afternoon's showpiece fixture at Wembley, City looking to continue their treble charge as United look to clinch a domestic double.
Watching on as this game plays out at the home of English football, Mullin - who helped Wrexham reached the fourth round of the competition - has made clear there is no good outcome that can come from today's contest.

"We had a good run in the FA Cup and ran Sheffield United really close so we should be really proud of ourselves but obviously disappointed to lose," he said of his side's efforts in the FA Cup this campaign.
“But today, it is not the occasion I wanted with two Manchester clubs and supporting Liverpool but it will be good to see [Erling] Haaland and co.I don’t really want either team to win, to be honest! I hope it goes to penalties and the lights go out and they can’t finish the game. That would be the ideal scenario! But I am a Liverpool fan, loved it this time last year when Liverpool were here.
“It is still going to be an unbelievable occasion and to watch these players, who are unbelievable up close, is something to look forward to.”
One positive for the former Tranmere Rovers striker, whose 38 league goals helped the Red Dragons to promotion out of the Football League, is that he is extremely likely to claim the FA Cup Golden Ball. Leading the way in the scoring charts for this season's competition on eight, Riyad Mahrez would have to net four times at Wembley to overtake the Wrexham talisman.
“It is unbelievable to be even in with a chance of winning the Golden Ball," Mullin told talkSPORT. "It is something I am really proud of when my little boy goes up to be able to show that his dad was able to win something I’d look back on my career and be really proud of. It is the cherry on top, the focus all season has been to get promoted."
