Manchester United are probably getting used to this now.
Once again the Red Devils were unable to kickoff at the correct time, on this occasion because of a late arrival from the pre-match entertainment.
Tinie Tempah performed to a packed out Wembley before the FA Cup final, receiving a decidedly mixed reaction from viewers.
It probably didn’t help that he kept the stadium waiting longer than anticipated, which pushed the kickoff time beyond 5:30pm.
This is of course United’s third delayed kickoff in succession, with bomb scares, London traffic and East End coach attacks all contributing. The internet consensus seemed to be that this is just the norm for the Red Devils now.

Solid tactics from Pards to get kick-off delayed… United have only won once this season (from three) when KO has been delayed #mindgames
