Manchester United will travel to London to play Arsenal in the Third Round of the FA Cup this weekend.
The Red Devils are preparing to take on Mikel Arteta’s Gunners as they look to progress to the FA Cup Fourth Round.
The competition’s rules this season mean there will be no replays, so a winner must be decided on the day. This will likely spark a lively and exciting Emirates matchup between two of the prestigious competition’s most successful teams.
And to mark the occasion, sports brand Mitre have produced a special item for the occasion.
Mitre unveil special FA Cup ball for Manchester United vs. Arsenal
Manchester United beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley last season and moved within one trophy of Arsenal’s haul of 14 FA Cups.
And to commemorate what was Erik Ten Hag’s last significant contribution to the club before Ruben Amorim took over, Mitre have unveiled a special matchday ball.
The ball has both a retro, and modern, look to it and proudly displays United’s famous red and white colours along with gold to signify their champion status.
The ball’s print also reads: “Official match ball exclusively for the holders of the Emirates FA Cup”
