Manchester United fan removed from FA Cup draw broadcast for protest

Monday's FA Cup third-round draw took an unexpected turn during its televised broadcast, with a moment that was both humorous and controversial.

Details: BBC presenter Kelly Somers was surrounded by Manchester United fans during the live broadcast of the draw. While she addressed the camera, one fan raised his phone displaying the message: "Thieves at £66," protesting the high ticket prices at Old Trafford.

The protester later revealed on social media platform X that he was removed from the broadcast as a consequence of his actions.

Reminder: Manchester United fans have been ramping up their protests, including a prominent demonstration ahead of the team’s match against Everton. In the third round of the FA Cup, Rúben Amorim's United—defending champions of the competition—will face Arsenal away from home.
