Man Utd go for blue suits for FA Cup final clash vs City.. just weeks after Fergie’s stinging criticism of white outfits
MANCHESTER UNITED showed off their swanky blue suits ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup Final.
United take on rivals Manchester City at Wembley and are determined to deny them the chance of emulating their historic Treble triumph from 1999.
But no matter what happens on the pitch, the Red Devils will certainly be arriving to the capital in style.
Erik ten Hag‘s men posed for photos in their smart new Paul Smith-designed outfits.
Casemiro, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alejandro Garnacho were pictured in their new threads.
This comes after legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s couldn’t resist a dig at Liverpool’s iconic white suits in a recent rugby pep talk.
The Reds’ ‘Spice Boys’, including the likes of Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler and Jamie Redknapp, infamously wore the all-white Armani outfits for the 1996 Cup Final, which they 1-0 thanks to Eric Cantona’s winner.
And Fergie showed he is in no mood to let fans forget that fashion faux pas any time soon as he spoke to Sale Sharks before their Premiership rugby final with Saracens.
Ferguson said: “You don’t want to lose on Saturday and I wish you all the best.
“The thing is, I’m telling you, don’t wear a white suit for Christ’s sake!”

But it seems like Ferguson is satisfied with United’s suits ahead of the important final.
After all, Paul Smith has been kitting out the Red Devils’ stars since 2008 when Fergie was still in charge.
