Mainoo and fellow teenager Alejandro Garnacho were on target at Wembley to deny Pep Guardiola's side the double after they secur𝔍ed their record-breaking fourth successive Premier League title last w🎐eekend.
Although Erik ten Hag's job was reportedly on the line - regardless of th♔e result - United🔴 defended brilliantly to largely keep City at bay, despite Jeremy Doku's late strike for the Citizens.
The Red Devils subsequently held out to end a disaꦯppointing season on a high, securing 🌠a place in the Europa League next term with their first FA Cup triumph since 2016.
And Mainoo, who was named in Gareth Southga𝓰te's provisional England squad for the forthcoming European Championship, saluted the efforts of United's players and staff.
"[It means] absolutely everything," he told BBC Sport.&n൩bsp;"It's been a to🎶ugh season of ups and downs. All the fans had to look forward to was this final. Last year, I was in the stands watching. I couldn't be involved.
"W𝓀e knew we had to come together. The staff and the players, the preparation has been amazing. We showed that we can compete, we can come together and win on such a big stage."
Garnacho also paid tribute to his team-mate, who became the first English teenager to score in an FA Cup final since Steve MacKenzie for City against Tottenham in 1981, while dedicating the victory to United'ꩵs supporters.
"Just incredible; I say he's the best player in the squad, and he's the young🌺est. I'm so happy for him," the Argentine said of Mainoo.
"[It is an] incredible feeling. Nobody believed in us, but we are together, here with these fans. An incredible moment for us, also for me and Kobb🍒ie to score the goals, but all together, we fought like it was the last day of our lives. We're so happy.
&qꩵuot;The fans were incredible. They're always there – home games, away games, now Wembley. We won for the fans."
