The Manchester United football club narrowly dodged elimination from the 2014 2015 FA Cup last month. In what many expected to be an easy fourth round victory for the Red Devils-against fourth tier club, Cambridge United-the team had to settle for a disappointing scoreless draw and a replay. Luckily for the wearers of the Manchester United shirt, they won that replay and earned a spot in the round of 16 for the tournament. And now, with an away win against Preston North End, they've moved one step further, into the quarterfinals.
Celebrate the milestone today, with a brand new Manchester United away jersey 2014 2015 from Soccer Box. This traditional white away shirt, from kit manufacture Nike, was worn last Monday in Man Utd's resounding 3-1 triumph over Preston. With any luck, it will continue to herald wins all the way up to the championship match! Soccer Box also has stock available of the 2014 2015 home jersey, the green goalkeeper shirt, and other miscellaneous football jersey designs!
The 2014 2015 FA Cup
It would be simply incorrect to say that the 2014 2015 FA Cup has been predictable or boring in the slightest. The fourth round alone saw huge upsets of Chelsea, Man City, Southampton, and Tottenham Hotspur-as well as the aforementioned close shave for Manchester United.
That round alone left the tournament as wide open as it has been in years, and numerous surviving teams-from Aston Villa to West Bromwich Albion-are hoping to capitalize on that fact and win their first FA Cup titles in many years.
For the wearers of the Manchester United shirt, it hasn't been too, too long since the last win at the FA Cup in 2004. Still, though, the football club and its fans would love to reassert their dominance over English soccer with a victory this year. A win this year would also bring a record 12th Football Association tournament title to Old Trafford-a welcome badge of honor after what has largely been perceived as an "off" period in the team's history.
Preston North End
The Red Devils got a big boost in their campaign for a trophy on Monday, donning the Manchester United away jersey 2014 2015 for a round of 16 fixture against Preston North End's Lilywhites.
The Lilywhites are a third tier club in English football, and were never expected to beat Man Utd. That didn't make the match any less fun or exciting for fans in the Manchester United shirt, though!
The home side actually scored first, breaking the stalemate of the game's first half with a goal just two minutes into the second. But rather than buckle under the pressure, the Red Devils were able to rally.
Indeed, the away squad made all of their best moves in the last 25 minutes of regulation. First, Ander Herrera took an assist from Ashley Young and used it as an opportunity to equalize the score. Then Marouane Fellaini gave Man Utd the lead with a goal at the 72-minute mark. And finally, team captain Wayne Rooney sealed the deal with a penalty goal just minutes before the end of the match.
Arsenal
The win against the Lilywhites was enough to send any fan off to Soccer Box to pick up a new Manchester United away jersey 2014 2015. From the looks of it, though, the Red Devil campaign for a 2014 2015 FA Cup is only just beginning. Man United has received the toughest of all the draws for the tournament's quarterfinals, and will now face off against Arsenal during the weekend of March 7th and 8th.
The bad news is that Arsenal is the defending champion in this particular competition. Last year, the Gunners also won their 11th Football Association title, tying Manchester United, which means that both teams are shooting for a record in 2014 2015.
The good news is that Manchester will have the home field advantage. Furthermore, Arsenal is easily the best of the remaining teams in the tournament, so a quarterfinal win would more or less clear United's path toward a trophy.
No matter what happens, you can bet that the quarterfinal clash between these two football clubs will be epic and action packed. Get ready for the event with a new Manchester United shirt, available at Soccer Box!
