Manchester United supporters are preparing to take a stand against the club's controversial new ticketing plans, with protests set to target co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST) has announced plans for demonstrations following the club's decision to introduce what fans describe as 'unfair' pricing structures and accessibility changes.
Growing Fan Frustration
Supporters argue that the new ticketing strategy prioritises corporate interests over loyal fans, making it increasingly difficult for long-time attendees to secure affordable seats at Old Trafford.
'These changes fundamentally alter the relationship between the club and its most dedicated supporters,' a MUST spokesperson stated.
Ratcliffe Under Fire
The protests will mark the first major challenge for Sir Jim Ratcliffe since his INEOS group acquired a significant stake in the club. Fans are demanding immediate action to reverse the unpopular measures.
Football analysts suggest this could be an early test of Ratcliffe's willingness to engage with the club's traditional supporter base.
What's Next?
The supporters' group is currently finalising protest details, with demonstrations expected to begin during upcoming home fixtures. Club officials have yet to respond publicly to the planned action.
This development comes at a sensitive time for United, who are looking to rebuild both on and off the pitch following a disappointing season.
