Cover 1
With a hint to Derby County captain Wayne Rooney’s illustrious Manchester United career, he is pictured on tonight’s cover proudly wearing his Derby kit with the iconic “ROONEY” chant in the background. It also showcases the unique names and numbers to be worn on the Rams’ players shirts for tonight’s tie.
Cover 2
This retro-inspired programme cover takes its inspiration from a Division One fixture in 1947 at the Baseball Ground between Derby County and Manchester United, just a couple of seasons after the Rams’ only-ever FA Cup Final victory in 1946.
