A young Manchester United fan got the surprise of his life when he came face-to-face with his favorite player's family at Saturday's FA Cup Final. <br/><br/>The Red Devils put a disappointing season behind them at Wembley by impressively dispatching Premier League champions and rivals Manchester City and winning the FA Cup. <br/><br/>First-half goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo were enough to see United lift their thirteenth FA Cup and secure European football for next season. <br/><br/>Yet, United's victory may not have been the best part of one young fan's FA Cup Final day, after a heartwarming meeting with the match winner's family on the Wembley escalator. <br/><br/>A video shared on social media shows the fan wearing the shirt of Mainoo, only to be standing in front of both the Man United midfielder's father and brother.<br/><br/>The moment occurred as father and son were traveling down one of Wembley's escalators, and the boy was asked if the player on the back of his shirt was his favorite player. <br/><br/>Once the child turns round, the voice behind the camera reveals that Mainoo is his son, much to the total amazement of the father and his son. <br/><br/>They are then introduced to the England star's big brother, who can be heard laughing at the response after revealing they are Mainoo's family. <br/><br/>The interaction immediately sees the dad ask his lad to 'say hello', at which point he stops eating his crisps, wipes his hands on his jeans, and shakes the hand of Mainoo's father.<br/><br/>It would have been a proud day for Mainoo's father and brother, as they witnessed a sublime performance from the teenage sensation. <br/><br/>The midfielder was on hand to finish off a sweeping United move in the first half, putting the finishing touch to Bruno Fernandes' no-look pass to put the Red Devils 2-0 up. <br/><br/>The goal proved to be the difference after Jeremy Doku's last consolation, and Mainoo was rewarded by being named man of the match.
