Arsenal fan corrects Manchester United website over erroneous FA Cup record claim

This was some brilliant investigative work by Arsenal fan Jeremy Livingston.

While browsing Manchester United’s website, the Gooners noticed an egregious error in the trophy room section.

Despite the fact that United were surpassed in FA Cup hauls by Arsenal last May, the United website was still making the claim that they shared a record 11 wins with Arsenal.

It’s a record United had proudly held since 2004 after their final win over Millwall, and it’s one that United fans were never shy to brag about.

And with Arsenal standing at 9 wins at that time, it looked like they’d have ownership of the record for some time more; but Arsenal caught them up with three cup triumphs in the intervening period.

Arsenal’s 2015 win against Aston Villa took them to 12 FA Cup triumphs, making them the sole record holders.

Jeremy brought the mistake to the attention of United’s administrative body, and to their credit, they promptly make the necessary changes.
