Manchester United play Nottingham Forest in Wednesday's FA Youth Cup final
Over 63,000 fans will be at Old Trafford in record crowd for showpiece game
United priced tickets at just £1 with all receipts going to the club's Foundation
Forest will have just under 6,000 fans as they look to lift trophy for first time
United are aiming to win the competition for a record 11th time

Over 63,000 fans will watch Wednesday night's FA Youth Cup final between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford - smashing the attendance record for the competition.

United confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that 63,500 tickets - priced at just £1 - had been sold for the showpiece game with all receipts going to the club's charity foundation.

The crowd will far exceed the previous Youth Cup attendance record of 38,187, set for the first leg between Arsenal and United in March 2007.

United had hoped the crowd would exceed 50,000 but that target has been exceeded with very limited tickets now left available on the club's ticketing website.

The capacity of Old Trafford is 74,140 and Wednesday night's attendance may not be far short of that.

Forest will be backed by just under 6,000 fans at Old Trafford with the club playing in their first-ever Youth Cup final.

The Championship club have not played United at Old Trafford since Boxing Day 1998 but the first team may make it back to the Premier League via the play-offs this month.

United are aiming to win the Youth Cup for the 11th time in their history, having not lifted the trophy since a team containing Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard beat Sheffield United in 2011.

Jonny Brick has written a book chronicling the history of the FA Youth Cup complete with player recollections about the competition from the past 70 years.

From Kids to Champions, by Pitch Publishing, is released on May 16 and you can order it here. Jonny has provided Sportsmail with some facts and stats about Wednesday's final:

The last time United won the Youth Cup was in 2011, when they beat Sheffield United 6-3 on aggregate with a team which included Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba and Sam Johnstone.
United striker Alejandro Garnacho scored in the semi-final and imitated Cristiano Ronaldo with his celebration. He has since trained with Lionel Messi after being called up to the Argentina national team.
Forest striker Detlef Esapa Osong scored twice in the semi-final against Chelsea, including a last-minute penalty to extend the lead to 3-1. Impressively, he chose not to dribble the ball to the corner flag to see the game out, winning the penalty in the process
This is the second consecutive season that a Midlands club have reached the FA Youth Cup final. In 2021, an Aston Villa team containing Carney Chukwuemeka and striker Louie Barry defeated Liverpool 2-1.
The last time a club reached the Youth Cup final for the first time was 2014. In a thrilling two-legged final, Fulham came up against the dominant side of the modern era and lost 7-6 to Chelsea. Patrick Roberts, who left Manchester City for Sunderland in January, was on the losing side, and this Monday he scored the winning goal which sent the Mackems to the League One play-off final.
Since United's Youth Cup win in 2011, Chelsea have won it six times (losing two finals) and Manchester City have won it once, having also lost four finals, three of those to Chelsea.

Travis Binnion's team have overcome Scunthorpe United, Reading, Everton, Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers to reach the one-legged final.

Forest, who are coached by the former United reserves manager Warren Joyce, have overcome Bristol City, Peterborough United, Cambridge United, Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea to reach this stage.

On the big crowd, United head of academy Nick Cox told the club website: 'If you turn up and watch the FA Youth Cup final, you are contributing to their development.

'If we can have a ferocious atmosphere and passionate fans, it will help the boys cope that little bit better when they get the chance to play in front of 75,000.

United's Class of '92, featuring Ryan Giggs (front row, third from right), David Beckham (front row, second from right) and Gary Neville (back row, third from left), won it 30 years ago

'The purpose of the FA Youth Cup is to create amazing learning opportunities.

'The boys put some pressure on themselves to win, the history of the competition at this club puts a little bit of pressure on them as well, and you play in front of crowds, have that little bit of pressure and have to deal with whatever circumstances cup competitions throw at you.'

Forest coach Joyce said: 'It's fantastic that so many Forest fans are making the journey up to support the boys. I'm sure the way the ground is laid out, I'm sure they could make as much noise as the United fans if not more.'

12 February 2018 | Tottenham Hotspur

Our attendance figure of 83,222 against Arsenal at Wembley Stadium, connected by EE, set a new record mark on three fronts.

The 83,222 toppled the previous best Premier League record set by us against Manchester United just last month, with 81,978 at Wembley for our fine 2-0 win on 31 January. That was also our Club record for a home league match.

It was just short of the all-time home league record in English football - currently held by Manchester United at 83,260 for a match against Arsenal in the old First Division - coincidently, held at their rivals City's old Maine Road stadium in 1948.

Saturday's attendance took us into second on that all-time list, jumping ahead of the 82,905 figure for Chelsea's match against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the old First Division in 1935.

Before this season, our highest crowd for a home league match was 70,882 against Manchester United at White Hart Lane in September, 1951.

Meanwhile, 83,222 is a new record for the north London derby.

The previous best figures were for the semi-finals at Wembley in 1991 (77,893) and 1993 (76,263) followed by 70,544 at Highbury in 1934 and 69,821 at White Hart Lane in 1953.

Our record home attendance remains 85,512 against Bayer Leverkusen in last season's Champions League campaign.

That figure of 85,512 is an English club record. Indeed, both of our Champions League group matches against Monaco (85,011) and Bayer Leverkusen set new record figures, toppling the previous best of 84,569 held by Manchester City for an FA Cup tie against Stoke at Maine Road in 1934.

The 85,512 attendance is also the highest by an English club for a home match in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, our attendance of 80,465 against Gent in February, 2017 set a new record mark for the UEFA Europa League, toppling the previous best of 75,180 for Manchester United against Liverpool at Old Trafford in March, 2016.
