At Arsenal's 60,000-seater stadium this would equate to a total of 9,000
But Gunners cut that number down on recommendation of their safety group
United challenged the decision but it has since been ratified by the FA
Manchester United are unhappy that their ticket allocation for next week's FA Cup fourth round clash with Arsenal at the Emirates has been almost halved.
United were last night said to be disappointed at the decision while supporters branded it 'a joke'.
Under competition rules, United should be given 15 per cent of the tickets for the game on Friday, January 25, which equates to 9,000 at Arsenal's 60,000-seater stadium.
However, they will receive only 5,233 tickets after Arsenal reduced the allocation on the recommendation of their safety advisory group over concerns that away fans would stand in the upper tier.
United challenged the decision but it has been ratified by the FA, who granted Arsenal dispensation to cut the number of tickets available to their opponents.
United had no option but to accept the decision because it is on safety grounds, and are also aware of the need to allocate tickets through their ballot system as soon as possible so fans can make travel plans for the game in nine days' time.
It is not the first time that Arsenal have cut the ticket allocation for a Premier League rival for a cup tie at the Emirates, and there are concerns that they did not follow the rules by seeking dispensation from the FA before originally reducing United's share.
