Manchester United will wear their away kit in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace .

Due to the clubs' kits clashing, a coin toss was made that United lost, so they will play in a changed strip.

The 28,000 United fans who obtain tickets for the club's first Cup final in nine years will be housed in the east end of Wembley Stadium, with The Torch Pub the nearest watering hole.

Just like in the 1990 final, United will wear a white Adidas kit against The Eagles, with whom they drew 3-3 after extra time at the national stadium 26 years ago.

Substitute Ian Wright threatened to steal United's thunder but a 113th-minute Mark Hughes equaliser rescued a replay.

United returned to Wembley five days later where they won the replay 1-0, courtesy of Lee Martin's half-volley, to clinch the first trophy of Alex Ferguson 's glorious reign.

For the Europa League round-of-16 tie at Liverpool last month, United sent supporters with match tickets white replica shirts in an attempt to create a 'Wall of White' at Anfield, but the move was predictably derided by Reds.

Overall, United have worn white in seven finals. The Reds' first ever FA Cup win came in white all the way back in 1909, however Matt Busby's Babes controversially lost their 1957 final to Aston Villa wearing white, as Villa matchwinner Peter McParland left United goalkeeper Ray Wood with a broken cheekbone. United also lost the 1983 Milk Cup final to Liverpool in white.

Ferguson's side triumphed in their away garb in the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup final against Barcelona in Rotterdam, winning 2-1. but lost to Barcelona in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals while wearing white.
