A MANCHESTER UNITED fan claims he was "kicked out" of the FA Cup draw at Old Trafford after protesting the club's rising ticket prices live on the BBC.
The third-round draw took place at the home of the holders Man Utd on Monday evening.
Ruben Amorim's side was drawn against record 14-time winner Arsenal in a blockbuster tie at the Emirates.
But one Red Devils supporter used the draw's location to make a point to the club's owners.
Man Utd have hiked Old Trafford tickets to an astonishing £66 per game.
They have also abolished concessions for children and pensioners, a move which saw protests before their 4-0 win over Everton on Sunday.
Man Utd fans surrounded BBC host Kelly Somers as she presented coverage of the FA Cup draw - with the trophy situated next to her.
But as she was talking to the camera, one person held up their phone which read: "£66 thieves".
The individual understood to be responsible for the act and later took to X to say: "I got kicked out for this btw."
SunSport has contacted Man Utd for comment.
Man Utd's Supporters' Trust has also criticized the decision to increase ticket prices.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has cut costs in many different areas since taking charge of football operations at Man Utd.
He let 250 employees go, stopped paying Sir Alex Ferguson's £ 2 million-a-year ambassadorial salary, canceled the Christmas party, and axed company credit cards and private chauffeurs.
He has also gotten rid of staff lunches, accommodation, extra tickets, and post-match parties.
As well as Arsenal vs Man Utd, several other third-round ties caught the eye including Manchester City vs Salford, Tamworth vs Tottenham, and Everton vs Peterborough - which could see Ashley Young face son Tyler.
All matches will take place over the weekend of January 11, 2025.
The 32 winners of the third round will land £115,000, with losers taking home £25,000.
All matches will be completed on the day, with replays scrapped in favor of extra-time and penalties in the case of a stalemate.
