Sponsored by. MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly embroiled in a row with Arsenal over their FA Cup ticket allocation. The two clubs are set to meet in the third round on Sunday January 12. Under FA rules the away side is granted 15 per cent of the ticket allocation, meaning there could be 9,000 Red Devils packed inside the Emirates, which is a 60,000-capacity stadium.

But United have been given just under 8000 tickets according to the Daily Mail, which is not acceptable for club officials. As a result, they have raised the issue with the FA with the aim of getting their full allocation. United reportedly raised concerns with Arsenal and gave them time to address the issue, but a solution has not been reached.
Sources at the club are said to feel that the match being brought forward to 3pm should avoid any crowd problems. The Red Devils have even had to delay placing their tickets up for sale, which was initially scheduled to take place on December 13. They blamed Arsenal for the delay in a statement which read: "Arsenal have not provided us with the relevant information required to open applications as planned at 8am tomorrow for our away game in the FA Cup.
"We’ll update here as and when this is received and will also add updates to our game information on the ticketing website.". BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS.
