Manchester united tickets for my son in army?

Whats the easiest way to get Manchester united tickets?
He has leave in December and I noticed united are playing at home twice, boxing day and new years eve. I would love to get him 2 tickets for his xmas present so he can go to one of the games with a mate.
Do you think these games will be particularly busy?

Any sites that I can safely buy tickets from?

    Hiya,

    Have you tried Ticket for troops?

    http://www.ticketsfortroops.org.uk/


    I keep meaning to look into it, I am not sure how it all works, I'm also not sure if its mainly for those deployed on operations but worth a look :)

    Edit:

    Just had a quick look and its done on a ballot basis for a pair of tickets, the guest can be be a civy. Looks good! Though it does not look like Man U have not donated a lot/any of tickets :(

    Thanks very much for the reply, someone did mention tickets for troops to me a few weeks ago, and I completely forgot to check on there! What a shame that Man U havent donated any, I think he should change his team, it would be easier to get him tickets then lol!
    I will add it to my favourites and keep an eye out just incase x
