Man United escalate Arsenal ticket row and call for 1,000 tickets to be given to NEUTRAL fans - after failing to receive full away allocation for FA Cup clash

Manchester United's ticket row with Arsenal has escalated – with the visitors now asking for the missing part of their allocation for Sunday’s FA Cup tie to go to NEUTRALS. Manchester United's ticket row with Arsenal has escalated ahead of their FA Cup clash Arsenal failed to give United their full 9,000 away allocation for the game at the Emirates United have called on the FA to give the missing part of their allocation to neutral supporters They have asked if the tickets in question could be allocated to neutrals selected by the FA itself. The suggestion from United is that the opportunity could be used to give those who do not often have the ability to attend games, such as emergency service workers and those involved with FA grassroots projects, the opportunity to watch a fixture between two of the country’s biggest clubs. While United declined to comment, it is thought that if this final plea falls on deaf ears and the seats remain empty, they would expect Arsenal to cover the cost, with gate receipts in the FA Cup subject to a split between clubs.
