And to mark the ball a new red and orange ball will be used in the first leg clash. The ‘Madrid Finale 19’ ball, which will be used for the Champions League final at the Estadio Metropolitano, features red and orange graphics along with the usual stars. “The ball boasts the latest adidas performance technology to ensure the world’s best players can perform at their optimum level during the UEFA Champions League,” a UEFA statement said last month. “An outer texture coating – consistent across all adidas UEFA Champions League official match balls – offers secure grip and complete control, while the thermally bonded star panels provide a seamless surface for an improved first touch.” On the unveiling of the new ball, United fans were convinced it was a sign it could be their year in the competition. One supporter tweeted: “Looks so Man Utd.” Another added: “From the ball, you can tell it’s ours @ManUtd.” And a third explained: “It looks like it’s made for Manchester United.” United will look to win tonight at Old Trafford in order to take some sort of advantage into the second leg on March 6. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has restored the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Victor Lindelof to his starting line-up. Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku have to make do with a place on the bench. The Champions League match kicks off at 8pm. Man Utd: De Gea, Young, Bailly, Lindelof, Shaw, Ander Herrera, Matic, Pogba, Lingard, Martial, Rashford.
