Manchester City's Joie Stadium is close to the Etihad Stadium, used by the club's first team
Manchester City will host their FA Youth Cup final against Manchester United at their smaller Joie Stadium after turning down an offer to switch it to Old Trafford.
City were drawn at home for the game but are unable to use the main pitch, with Pep Guardiola's first team still having three home Premier League games to play.
United, who last won the trophy in 2022 - when more than 60,000 were at Old Trafford to watch a team including Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho beat Nottingham Forest - told City they were prepared to host the game.
City said no, so the game will be played at the 7,000-capacity ground, which is used by the club's Premier League 2 and women's teams.
